SOUTHEASTERN N.C. — Two Texan singer-songwriters are coming together for a one-of-a-kind, one-night performance blending wit, storytelling, and songwriting all in one.

Lyle Lovett and Hayes Carll will perform on Feb. 10 at Wilson Center, 7 p.m. Tickets go on sale this week.

Lovett has released 14 albums — blending country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel, and blues — over his four-decade career and won four Grammy Awards. Carll’s folk, alternative country, with witty wordplay, has often been compared to music icons Townes Van Zant and John Prine.

The two will come together on stage and cover each other’s music and engage in classic covers, like Guy Clark’s “L.A. Freeway.”

Tickets go on sale here on Friday, Nov. 13, at 10 a.m.
