Vince Gill & Lyle Lovett To Bring 'Songs and Stories' Tour To The Bay Area

By Robyn Collins/CBS SF Staff

(RADIO.COM) – Country superstars Vince Gill and Lyle Lovett are hooking up for a 2017 edition of their Songs and Stories tour, Pollstar reports.

Their setlist will include solo and duo performances, as well as plenty of laughs. Gill's website described the two musicians as "the always witty Vince Gill and the reliably wry Lyle Lovett."

Describing the tour, Gill said, "For a night like this, there is no plan. I know Lyle won't have a plan, and I won't either. What he plays will inspire me, and probably vice-versa. It'll be like playing ping-pong. Whatever song he chooses to sing will inspire the next song that comes out of me."

Lovett added, "I enjoy shows that are not planned out. This will be two songwriters in the round. It's informal, so there will be lots of ad-libbing. It will be like little snapshots of our experiences."
