The line to get into the theater stretched down Water Street to the corner of Sidney Baker Street. 

Lyle Lovett delighted Kerrville on Saturday night with a mix of his newish work and his classic catalog from his storied career. The performance was a sort of homecoming for Lovett, who experienced breakthrough success in 1980 at the Kerrville Folk Festival. 

The venue for Lovett’s performance was a sold-out Arcadia Live, which was enjoying its biggest act in its short history. Before Lovett took the stage after 8 p.m., the line to get into the theater stretched down Water Street to the corner of Sidney Baker Street. 

Arcadia Live has played host to several big acts, including Lovett’s contemporaries Robert Earl Keen and James McMurtry, but this show was unlike anything else perviously held at Arcadia, which was in standing-room only mode from the start of the show.
