Singer-songwriters Lyle Lovett and Lisa Loeb will share their gifts of well-crafted original compositions and casual storytelling in two duo concerts in the greater region, at the Mahaiwe in Great Barrington, Mass., tonight at 8, and at UPAC in Kingston, N.Y., on Saturday at 8 p.m. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music by fusing elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.
