Headliner: Vance Gilbert – The Acoustic Storyteller Extraordinaire
If you’ve ever wondered what it would sound like if Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, let us introduce you to Vance Gilbert—hailed by Richmond Magazine as a unique blend of soulful singer-songwriter. With the release of his new album, The Mother Of Trouble, Vance teams up with Grammy-winning artist Lori McKenna on background vocals and collaborates with luminaries like Joey Landreth on guitar and Joe K. Walsh on mandolin to create what promises to be a truly memorable musical experience.
Vance Gilbert is more than just a musician; he’s a cultural touchstone, with a career spanning over 30 years and 14 remarkable albums. His songs are a vivid tapestry woven from personal experiences and social observations—think stories of love, loss, and the humorous mishaps that make life beautiful. You’ll find themes ranging from bullies and missed flights (thanks to gas station sushi) to poignant reflections that resonate deeply.
Vance’s journey began in the Philadelphia area, where he initially aspired to be an R&B and jazz singer. It was during his college years that he discovered his passion for acoustic storytelling, captivating audiences across the country, including a noteworthy stint as the special guest for Shawn Colvin’s 1992 Fat City tour. With a voice that’s been described as having “the sweetness of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar skills of a god,” Vance continues to earn accolades and influence in the contemporary Folk and Americana scenes.
Beyond music, Vance is also an accomplished coach and instructor, sharing his wisdom with aspiring artists and teaching at the University of Colorado Denver. His Monday Night Acoustic Pajama Party on YouTube has garnered attention, showcasing his eclectic repertoire while supporting local charities.
Opener: Bob Cannon – The Versatile Music Maven
Kicking off the evening of musical excellence is Bob Cannon, a singer-songwriter rooted in the rich tapestry of American music. Now based in Lewes, Delaware, Bob’s circuitous musical journey has taken him through Charlottesville, Wilmington, Nashville, and beyond. With experiences that shape his sound, Bob brings a diverse range of influences, from country and bluegrass to rock and pop.
After stepping away from a career in music journalism, writing for top publications such as Entertainment Weekly and Country Weekly, Bob returned to his true passion: crafting songs. His latest album, Left-Handed Salute, released in June 2023, showcases his unique style that defies categorization, offering listeners a “buffet table of modern sounds.” His prior work, the album On Second Thought, features collaborations with Grammy-nominated artists, adding to the eclectic mix of styles he’s known for.
Bob’s engaging performances reflect the joyous spirit of live music, spotlighting his songwriting prowess and captivating stage presence. You can expect to hear a selection of heartfelt tunes that resonate with life’s ups and downs, making you laugh and perhaps shed a tear.
