Charming man, Charming Theater, voice is a little rocky
by TG510 on 3/18/24Uptown Theatre Napa - NapaI had never been to the Uptown Theater in Napa. Wow - it's a gem! 750 seats small, good acoustics, comfortable. I have seen Lyle in concert 5-6 times since the mid-1990's, inside and out, large and small venues. I have always loved how much he admires and showcases his musicians, whether in an acoustic set like this one or with his Large Band. He is gracious and generous in his showcasing of their talents. This show was no different. Lyle is 64sh now. His musicianship is still great. His voice was weaker and I couldn't' tell if it was age or a cold or both, but sometimes we just couldn't make it out. Two of his bandmates has clear and sweet/strong voices and his just couldn't meet them. His story telling and chatter still made for a good night.
