If you haven’t noticed, Lyle Lovett loves Colorado. At least the smooth-talking crooner loves playing here.
Not a summer passes without a big Large Band show. And Lovett is a king of making multiple other swings through the state on an annual basis. But Lovett just announced another date with our state.

Lovett will play at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in less than a month, on Jan. 4. Tickets just went on sale here.
There’s something refreshing about seeing artists in fancy theaters and opera houses. (We remember seeing Flight of the Concords at the Ellie — wow. And Tool at the Buell Theatre? Damn, that was a night.) Lovett and his music will make sense with the acoustically stunning Ellie, so it should be a night to remember.
