Shows with *asterisks* are open to the public. I know, promoters of those shows - I owe you promo materials. Most of that can be found at vancegilbert.com. For other info on scheduled shows go to vancegilbert.com

Everything else is up for grabs. For those that don't remember, here are the rules:

1)  Like last year, (when my dog was sick?)  I come play your Holiday Party. 3 to 50 people,
2)  Pay between $500 - $999, depending on party size, your means, what you feel like paying,
3)  pay with 2 checks,
4)  60% to me,
5)  40% to a charity of your choice - matching giving from your work/friends accepted - I'll post who we give to on the site, so there can be more gift matching...
6)  invite your friends,
7)  feed them, (and me...)
8)  yay....

Addendum.
a) Travel more than a drive? - you pay, me fly.
b) Circumference? Get a hold of me, we'll talk.
c) I have a teeny weeny sound system - usually don't need one. Let me know about the space we'll be in and we'll talk.
d) Valentine's Day - same price.
e) New Years rates $800 - 1400.

Nice chance for us to have a shindig, hear my new tunes, and do something good for folks in need.

vancegilbertholidayparty@gmail.com is the happening place to go to get in touch with me...

Head over to https://vancegilbert.com/index.php?page=blog&display=2437#offset1 to read the new blog too.

Think of giving to charities in loved one's name rather than the typical slippers, ties, and stinky soaps under the tree, menorah, or Kwaanza kinara...there - I think I covered everyone...

In any case, peace, and see you at a show....
