Vance Gilbert

Richmond Magazine once wrote, “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". That's not a bad characterization of Vance's stellar songwriting and unique persona. He's the kind of songwriter who, when I hear him perform his songs, has prompted me to think, on more than one occasion, 'Damn, I wish I'd written that!'. I'm very pleased to have Vance join me for a few of these UK tour dates. Join us!
