Veteran artists Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Guy Clark and Joe Ely are scheduling a handful of fall shows together. Confirmed so far is an Oct. 22 show at New York's Beacon Theatre and a performance the next night at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pa., near Philadelphia. A few more dates are expected, but not a full-scale tour.

"They do them every now and then," Lovett's manager, Vector Management president Ken Levitan, tells Billboard.com. "They're songwriter shows, [where] they sit and pass around the guitar." The quartet will also appear together June 15 in Jacksonville, Ore., on a bill that also includes singer/songwriter Jackie Greene.

All four artists have road plans leading up to the collaborative dates. Hiatt plays Charleston, S.C., tonight (April 30) and Ely kicks off a slate of dates with the Flatlanders May 4 in Kansas City, Mo. Clark's schedule begins May 13 in Lubbock, Texas, while Lovett will get his summer tour underway June 17 with a performance at the Telluride (Col.) Bluegrass Festival.
