Vance Gilbert’s bluesy sound burst onto Boston’s folk scene in the early 90s. After Shaun Colvin invited him to tour with her, Vance was soon taking audiences across the country by storm. (More recently he opened for George Carlin for a year and a half.) He sings of life, love lost and found and a myriad of other subjects including a lament over Pluto’s loss of planetary status. Vance’s nine releases evidence his great and lasting talents. His is a presentation steeped in deep humanism and bravery, stunning artistry and soul, unbridled joy with the occasional touch of ironic humor; an evening both entertaining and enlightening. The Fort Worth Star Telegram said of a performance,

“The voice of an angel, the wit of a devil and the guitar of a god . . .” and “The lyrics are better than almost anything you’ve heard. . .” Dirty Linen considers him “amoung the quintessential musical poets.” He tells us he is very much looking forward to performing on Valentine’s Day for our lucky audience. His music and humor will enchant you.

Gilmary Doyle-Andrews' music, best described as Urban- Coffeehouse Folk, is a blend of styles ranging from honky-tonk to simple fingerstyle. Her unique interpreta- tions of life, love and the pursuit of happi- ness are influenced by old folkies such as Tom Paxton and Loudon Wainwright, with a hint of Cheryl Wheeler, Robert Earl Keen and Christine Lavin. An actor on Chicago stages for most of her adult life, Comes Up Grinnin' marks Gilmary's debut as a solo musician. The collection of original songs will take the listener on a little journey, let them glimpse a page or two from her diary, or simply give you good belly laugh.
