Eight Gigs: Lyle Lovett & Robert Earl Keen
Fri., Mar. 25, 8 p.m., Mondavi Center, $28.50-$72
This wonderful union of two of America’s great songsmiths is bound to make for an awe-inspiring Friday night. Both artists have been quite prolific, with Keen releasing a steady stream of original material and Lovett enjoying several different vocations, including acting, scoring and performing live theater. For those uninitiated, begin with Lovett’s Step Inside This House (1998) and Keen’s Gravitational Forces (2001). If those don’t pull you one step closer to God, perhaps your faith in music can’t be restored. 1 Shields Avenue in Davis, www.lylelovett.com.
