PAUL SCHRAG: LOVETT AND HIATT PERFORM TWO SHOWS TODAY >>>

Oh man do I love Lyle Lovett. He’ll be at the Pantages Theater today with John Hiatt, who is almost as awesome as Lovett. But Hiatt has never jumped in the sack with Julia Roberts, so he loses a few points there.

Lovett, one of the great singer/songwriters of our age, and Hiatt, who has been nominated for 11 Grammy Awards, will play an all acoustic set as part of what should be considered by all you music fans out there as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

[Pantages Theater, Sunday, Oct. 18, 3 and 7:30 p.m., $59, $79, $99 and $129, 901 Broadway, Tacoma, 253.591.5890]
