Lyle Lovett and a country week

Lyle Lovett plays Chapman Music Hall on Friday, November 13. Around him it is a country week, with Wilderado and Hayes Carll at Cain's Ballroom, Tanya Tucker and Clint Black at Hard Rock Live, and Golden Hurricane homecoming on Saturday.

The one thing

Lyle Lovett plays Chapman Music Hall on Friday, November 13 at 8 pm. He comes in from Lawrence, Kansas the night before and heads to Memphis the night after, so Tulsa gets the Friday.

Chapman is the big hall at the Performing Arts Center, and it suits him. The room is built for orchestras, so the quiet songs carry to the balcony and the horns have somewhere to go. Lovett tells long, dry stories between songs, and a seated hall is the right place to hear them.

The PAC sits at 2nd and Cincinnati. Parking fills early on a Friday downtown, so the garages a block or two out are the easier bet.

Live music and comedy

Country and Americana own the week, from Cain's out to Catoosa.

Wilderado play Cain's Ballroom on Wednesday, November 11 at 7 pm. The band started in Tulsa, so this one is a home game.
