Vance Gilbert “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", says Richmond Magazine.

Considered by many to be an integral part of the national folk scene - and one of the originators of the finally recognized R&B/Folk/Jazz crossover-sub-genre - this Boston-based stalwart was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. In 1992, Shawn Colvin invited him to be special guest on her Fat City tour. “With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god...”, swooned The Fort Worth Star-Telegram about one of those shows.
