Lyle Lovett cherishes every opportunity he gets to play in Chicago. Between playing venues such as the Chicago Theatre and Schubas, and getting early support from radio stations such as WXRT, the city’s had an immense impact on his four-decade career.
Summertime is an especially fine time to play there, he says. However, Lovett’s performance this summer at Ravinia Festival was canceled in the wake of the tragic Highland Park parade shooting. Now he’s looking forward to returning to the area , this time co-headlining a sold-out acoustic show Oct.15 with John Hiatt at Northwestern’s Cahn Auditorium.
