“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-sub-genre, Vance was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. Starting out hoping to be an R&B and jazz singer once at college, there he discovered his affinity for the storytelling sensibilities of the acoustic singer-songwriter thing. Word spread like wildfire about Gilbert’s stage-owning singing and playing, and Shawn Colvin invited him to be a special guest on her Fat City tour.
Noted not only for being the ever consummate performer, Vance has recorded 13 albums, including five for Philo/Rounder Records. Along with being opener of choice for artists like Arlo Guthrie, Anita Baker, The Milk Carton Kids, and Southside Johnny, the mid 2000s found Vance opening 150+ shows for comedian George Carlin.
