LIVE MUSIC is back, and in Taos, it’s back with a big bang. AMP and the Town of Taos have announced a series of concerts in the park this summer and fall, including Ben Harper, My Morning Jacket, ZZ Top, Thievery Corporatio­n and, over this July Fourth weekend, we’ll be treated to a truly great show.

Lyle Lovett is a singer, songwriter, actor and record producer who has won four Grammy Awards, including Best Male Country Vocal Performanc­e and Best Country Album.

Lyle Lovett has become one of music’s most popular and iconic performers. Besides the four Grammy Awards, he received the Americana Music Associatio­n’s inaugural Trailblaze­r Award, and was named Texas State Musician.

Lovett has redefined American music by fusing elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.

Lovett’s live performanc­es showcase the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivatin­g live performers in popular music.
