Vance Gilbert

Vance Gilbert live at Eddie's Attic! "If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert." -- Richmond Magazine One of the originators of the R&B/Folk/Jazz crossover, Vance discovered his affinity for acoustic storytelling in college and never looked back. Shawn Colvin invited him on her 1992 Fat City tour, and he's been a fixture of the national folk scene ever since -- opening for Arlo Guthrie, George Carlin (150+ shows), and serving as opener of choice for Paul Reiser's stand-up tours for the past seven years. His 14th album, The Mother of Trouble, features Grammy winner Lori McKenna and Juno recipient Joey Landreth. Twangville says it best: "Gilbert is some sort of one-man musical universe that just keeps expanding."
