Twenty time Grammy Award winning singer/ songwriter and guitar player Vince Gill sold out The Rose Music Center Saturday night. As Vince strolled his way onto the stage, he picked up a guitar and humbly waved to the crowd. There were no empty seats in the house as Vince played all of his hits in a 2 hour 45 minute jam packed performance. Anybody that knows Vince Gill knows that he is both a prolific story teller and a man of humor. Vince brought some regional humor to the stage as he joked about ordering up a 3 way from Skyline Chili. He candidly shared that had he been twenty years old looking to order a 3 way, he would’ve been thinking of something other than chili.
Vince’s vocals were golden and on key. His guitar solos were executed with amazing dexterity. Most importantly, the legendary performer acknowledged every applause, cheer and standing ovation with a humbling gratitude, smile and a wave or bow to the crowd. Vince shared many stories of his father, touring with the likes of Conway Twitty and George Jones in the early years. He paid tribute to his longtime inspiration, the late Merle Haggard. Appropriately absent was excessive lighting and stage theatrics. Vince Gill takes the stage to intimately tell a story and sincerely share his talent. That within itself made for a most theatrical night!
