UP ON ROCKFIELD
by: VANCE GILBERT Vance's vision of this disc was a concept album, where he wrote each song with a "vibe" that's reminiscent of other songwriters. And he's pulls it off brilliantly! Always putting his own stamp on each song, he does capture the essence of the artists. From the Tom Waits tinged "Old Man's Advice" to the sounds of Springsteen and Steve Earle in "Judge's House," the songs are sure to delight! Other highlights include "House of Prayer," "Sweetwater" and the title track. |

ANGELS, CASTLES, COVERS
by: VANCE GILBERT A truly daring mix of Vance's and his fan's favorite "cover" songs. How many acoustic albums do you know that have a version of Al Green's "I'm So Tired of Being Along" with accordion and mandolin? Or Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" and Jimi Hendrix's "Castles Made of Sand" with a classic Vance Gilbert solo acoustic treatment? Guest artists Lori McKenna and Tracy Grammar add their vocal talents on "Ain't Nothin Like the Real Thing" and "Heaven Help Us All." Other highlights include "A Case of You," "Cry Like an Angel," "Rainy Night in Georgia" and "Save the Last Dance for Me." |

UNFAMILIAR MOON
by: VANCE GILBERT Gilbert has been showcasing many of these songs in his live set for over a year now, and songs like the title track, Unfamiliar Moon, constantly elicit the "You wrote that?" response from listeners. Not because they are derivative, but because they succeed in being defining musical pieces of the songwriting genre. Each song exemplifies the perfect mis of lyrical eloquence and musical accessibility. They're just great songs put together to make one great album. |

NOW YOU SEE HIM DVD
by: VANCE GILBERT Vance burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when the buzz started spreading in the folk vclubs of Boston about an ex-jazz singer who was knocking 'em dead at open mics.

Now you can see him in this DVD that features a live show from Club Passim...in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA, a stagecraft workshop at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, recording session footage, a photo montage, and listen to Vance's comments on his live performances. |
