“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…

Vance Gilbert returns to Godfrey Daniels for a special evening of masterful songwriting, quick wit, and commanding stage presence. With over three decades on the road, Gilbert is a pillar of the contemporary Folk and Americana scene, blending storytelling with a voice that’s both powerful and playful. His latest album The Mother of Trouble features collaborations with Grammy-winner Lori McKenna and Americana greats like Joey Landreth and Joe K. Walsh. Known for his engaging live shows—from sharing the stage with George Carlin to intimate rooms like ours—Vance brings humor, heart, and honesty to every performance.
