You may not be from Texas, but Lyle Lovett and his 14-piece ensemble want you anyway.

The 66-year-old is notorious for Springsteen-length shows, cheeky humor and onstage interviews with band members, including longtime Phil Collins bassist Leland Sklar, who compared his Gandalf beard to a dandelion the last time Lovett was in town.

The man up front’s latest album 12th of June—his first in a decade—sees his fairly common country-jazz fusion back him up as he reminisces about becoming a father to twins, one of which won’t eat a burger unless it’s just a toasted bun.

Tickets to see Lyle Lovett and his Large Band play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Friday, Oct. 4 are still available and start at $53.25.
