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.
​
Vance’s new album, “The Mother Of Trouble”, features Grammy winner Lori McKenna on background vocals, Juno award recipient and Bonnie Raitt Grammy hit song co-writer Joey Landreth on guitars, and Americana-Roots master mandolinist Joe K. Walsh. With 4 bullies, 4 deaths (3 of them murders), 3 moms, 2 accidents, 2 Black people, 2 dogs, 1 dog ball,, and 1 missed flight thanks to gas station sushi, this album benefits from the gifts of time and experience honing songwriting skills that put this most vital of acoustic storytellers at the top of the game.
​
Oh, and Management wants to make sure to tell you that this is the 14th release for this acoustic stalwart.
​
One of the originators of the finally recognized 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 special guest on her 1992 Fat City tour where he took much of America by storm and by surprise. “With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god..” wrote the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Noted not only for being the ever consummate performer, Gilbert has recorded 13 albums, including 5 for Philo/Rounder Records. Along with being opener of choice for artists as varied as Arlo Guthrie, Anita Baker, The Milk Carton Kids, and Southside Johnny, the mid 2000’s found Gilbert opening 150+ shows for comedian George Carlin.
Gilbert has also been a prominent presence at some of the world’s most prestigious gatherings and halls, among them the Newport, Winnipeg, Rocky Mountain, Calgary, Ottawa, and Falcon Ridge Folk festivals, the Kate Wolf Music Festival, and Australia’s Woodford Folk and Mullum Music Festivals, Mountain Stage, Boston’s Symphony Hall, Nashville’s Lyman Auditorium, The Barns at Wolftrap, and a private party for his veterinarian where there was terrific lo-mein.

Philly Loves Lillith: A Tribute To Lillith Fair at the Fallser
2026-03-07 19:30 - 22:30 | The Fallser Club, 3721 Midvale Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19129, United States
Founded in 1997 by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan, Lilith Fair was a groundbreaking all-female touring festival that ran through 1999, with a brief revival in 2010. Created to amplify women’s voices in an industry that routinely sidelined them, it showcased artists such as Sheryl Crow, Jewel, and Fiona Apple, becoming the highest-grossing festival of the late 1990s while directly confronting entrenched misogyny in the music business.
The Fallser Club’s Lilith tribute honors that legacy and answers this moment: a reminder that women are full human beings—artists, leaders, and decision-makers—who deserve autonomy, safety, and respect on every stage and in every space. In the spirit of our mission, this night centers on music, community care, and the power of voices rising together from every path and perspective.
