Country songwriter to be featured at Neville Center
Chuck Pyle will perform Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Neville Center. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the opening act starting at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $12 in advance or $14 at the door. Reservations can be made by calling 532-8559, but if they are not picked up and paid for at least 15 minutes before show time they will be re-sold. Beverages will also be available for purchase.
Pyle has won high praise from both fans and peers alike throughout an inspired performance career of over 40 years.
When reviewers first gave him the "Zen Cowboy" moniker, he decided to, as he says, "Always ride the horse in the direction it's going," and took the nickname to heart, shaving his head and blending his upbeat perspective with old-fashioned horse sense.
He mixes infectiously hummable melodies with straight-from-the-saddle poetry, quoting bumper stickers, proverbs, world leaders and old cowboys.
An accomplished songwriter, Pyle's songs have been recorded by John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Suzy Bogguss. Country fans know him best for writing, "Cadillac Cowboy", recorded by the late Chris LeDoux, and "Jaded Lover", recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker. He has just released his 10th CD, Higher Ground-Songs of Colorado.
