It's been four years since Lafayette favorite Lyle Lovett has been to town, and he's coming in loud (along with His Large Band) to kick off the Acadiana Center for the Arts ninth performing arts season. In this performance at the Heymann, Lovett will incorporate his famous storytelling into his song-sharing, drawing back on his roots as a Texas showman and his life as a country music superstar married to one of the era's most famous actresses. 

Over the past three decades, Lovett has recorded 14 albums and won four Grammys, and though he is most known for his country songs, his work incorporates poignant bits of folk, swing, blues, jazz, and gospel—adding a rich, eclectic collection to the Americana canon. 7:30 pm. $35. Tickets available at the Heymann Performing Arts Center Box Office at (337) 291-5540, at heymanncenter.com or at acadianacenterforthearts.org.
