Hi VanceFans

I know! Me, recording with Rock Star Mike Posner in Telluride started yesterday. He might be doing Unfamiliar Moon and Pie & Whiskey and some co-write stuff... we'll see. In any case, the last 18 hrs have been a blast - even cobbled up a set of lyrics for a funk thing before I went to bed... yes, funk. We'll see what today brings...I'm here for the week...

Then comes Swannanoa Gathering then a bunch of openers for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes, then the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, then - ready for this? - I split a night at The Towne Crier, Pawling NY with Christine Lavin. She truly helped get me started in this business about 30 years ago (she was 11 at the time) and now will so graciously share the evening with moi. We've got about 28 days to get a crowd in there, so those of you people just northwest of NYC oughta be happy!!

Then it's me an Ellis Paul in Fulton MD the next night , the 27th.

Details for everything below. Yes, yes, yes, private parties, performance and songwriting coaching, voice, all available. Lemme know.

Peace, xo, and good stuff to you and me both- Vg

Then there’s a week of singing and songing (this week!) with Mike Posner who had a world-wide hit last year with “I Took A Pill In Ibiza”. He wants to record Unfamiliar Moon (finally - someone!) and maybe Pie and Whiskey. We’ll see. A little teeny bit of fame and fortune can’t hurt…7/24 - 7/29. Wish me luck.
