Nashville, TN – January 21, 2015 – Vince Gill will share the stage and sing along with Ashley Monroe, Charlie Worsham and daughter Jenny Gill on the four-date mini-tour, “Vince Gill & Friends,” March 19-22. The intimate musical experience is a thematic extension of his January round of shows with fellow musician Lyle Lovett.
Singer-songwriter Ashley Monroe is preparing the follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut album, Like A Rose, working again with producer Vince Gill. She’s currently enjoying Top 10 success with “Lonely Tonight,” her duet with Blake Shelton. Charlie Worsham demonstrated his showmanship opening for Taylor Swift, and sharing stages with the likes of Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves, while going on to distinguish himself as a solo artist with Rubberband, his debut album for Warner Bros. Records.
An ardent believer that musicians exist to serve the song, Vince Gill says all three guest performers will be on stage with him and his band for the duration of each show. “This won’t be a ‘guitar pull,’” he explains, “where one person sings while the others listen and wait for their turn. We’ll all be pitching in, picking and singing harmony for each other and doing each other’s songs. It will be a musical collaboration—not a headliner with opening acts.”
Gill is one of the most active and awarded performers in modern-day music. In addition to the nearly two dozen albums he has recorded as a solo artist, he has been a guest artist on nearly 1,000 albums by other singers in virtually all genres of popular music. A 20-time Grammy-winner, he is also a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry. He has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was recently declared a BMI Icon, an honor reserved for the most influential songwriters. He is also a member of the Grammy-nominated Nashville supergroup, The Time Jumpers.
