lovett, hiatt, ely and clark co-headline songwriters tour

Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt have wrapped up their respective summer tours and will join fellow singer-songwriters Joe Ely and Guy Clark for a joint run through October.

The co-headline outing is a reprise of dates that the quartet played earlier in the year. Lovett continues to support his debut effort for Lost Highway records, "My Baby Don't Tolerate," released in the fall of 2003. Likewise, Ely and Hiatt are touring behind their mid-2003 releases "Streets of Sin" and "Beneath This Gruff Exterior," respectively.

Hiatt has spent part of 2004 on the road as a solo-acoustic act, without his usual band, The Goners. In a conversation with the Rocky Mountain News' Mark Brown in June, Hiatt said he's been using the intimate staging to work out and record songs for a planned January album release.
