CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK: It never hurts to have famous friends in your corner (or a cool handlebar mustache), especially when you’re a struggling singer/songwriter. So it was a huge boost when Ed Sheeran and Elton John gave this Irish folk singer/songwriter the thumbs up, which immediately garnered Vance the attention of their mammoth fan bases. That was in 2016 . Vance’s star has been on the rise ever since. He is touring behind Signs of Life (2021),another soulful slice of sensitive folk/rock — and one of the finest albums of that year. — Hal Horowitz

With special guest Bonnie Bishop

Hailing from Northern Ireland and deeply rooted in the rich musical history of the Southern United States, Foy Vance has garnered acclaim from fans and fellow musicians alike since his independent debut album release in 2007. Foy released his second LP, Joy of Nothing, in 2013 on Glassnote Records which led to further critical praise and invites on tours from Ed Sheeran, Bonnie Raitt, Marcus Foster, Snow Patrol, and Sir Elton John. Additionally, Foy has headlined tours globally to sell-out crowds.

Foy was the second artist signed to Gingerbread Man Records, Ed Sheeran’s label division within Atlantic Records. Foy’s debut recording with the label, The Wild Swan, was executive produced by Sir Elton John and released in 2016. In 2019, Foy released two companion albums, From Muscle Shoals and To Memphis, recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis. His songwriting credits include co-writing four cuts on Ed Sheeran’s 2017 album Divide, the title track on Sam Smith’s latest album Gloria and collaborations with Alicia Keys, Rag N Bone Man, Keith Urban, Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Plan B, and Rudimental.

Foy Vance’s 2021 album, Signs Of Life, marked Foy’s second studio album “proper” on Gingerbread Man Records and was a testament to his abilities as a songwriter. The thoughtful and poignant album was written and played more or less entirely by Vance, with assistance from young Northern Irish producer Gareth Dunlop, and received global recognition.

In 2022, Foy embarked on the “Signs of Live + 15 Years of Hope tour,” celebrating his latest album as well as the anniversary of his debut record. This year, he’ll be heading out on the road once again to play songs from one of his most impactful albums, as well as tracks from the rest of his poignant discography for the “Regarding the Joy of Nothing Tour.”
