Boston musician Vance Gilbert, a cornerstone of the city's folk music scene, will headline two shows at Club Passim on January 11.
A pioneer of the R&B, folk, and jazz crossover sub-genre, his innovative sound has significantly impacted contemporary folk and Americana music. With over thirty years of experience and thirteen albums, Gilbert's artistry and legacy highlight his enduring significance in
Boston and the national music landscape. This is Gilbert's only show in the

Gilbert started as a jazz singer, switched to folk music, became a regular on the open mike circuit in
Boston and toured with Shawn Colvin. He has been a prominent presence at some of the world's most prestigious gatherings and halls, among them the Newport, Winnipeg, Rocky Mountain, Calgary, Ottawa, and Falcon Ridge Folk festivals, the Kate Wolf
