MCA Records artist Vince Gill will soon hit the road for an intimate acoustic tour that kicks off August 18th in Wellington, OH and concludes November 24th in Alexandria, VA. Accompanied only by pianist Pete Wasner and percussionist Billy Thomas, Vince will play some of his most notable songs "unplugged" for the tour, called "A Special Acoustic Evening With Vince Gill."
Gill said, "In 2006 and 2007, I toured with a 17-piece band so I could reproduce the sounds of These Days, the new album I'd made. And it was a lot of fun. This year, I'm not out promoting a new album so I wanted to do something really different. Recently I saw James Taylor on his tour. It was a kind of one-man band show, with just him, a piano player and all those great songs. I really enjoyed watching it and I knew I would enjoy performing in that setting as well. So I'm going to tour basically the same way-pared down and informal."
