SUMMARY:Cliff Eberhardt and Vance Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Cliff and Vance are back following their fantastic show in Janu
 ary!\n\nCliff Eberhardt cut his teeth listening to James Taylor\, Joni Mit
 chell\, Bruce Springsteen\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Muddy Waters\, Bonnie Raitt\,
  and Mississippi John Hurt at local clubs — but also Cole Porter\, the G
 ershwins\, and Rodgers and Hart. Cliff moved to New York in 1978 – becau
 se the clubs were great (the Bitter End\, the Speakeasy\, Kenny’s Castaw
 ay\, Folk City) and the company amazing (John Gorka\, Suzanne Vega\, Lucy 
 Kaplansky\, Julie Gold\, Steve Forbert\, Christine Lavin\, and Shawn Colvi
 n). Between long hours as a taxi driver\, Cliff played guitar on the road 
 with Richie Havens\, Melanie and sang jingles for Coke\, Miller Beer and C
 hevrolet (“The Heartbeat of America” campaign).\n\nCliff recently rele
 ased an album of original songs\, “Knew Things”\, to critical acclaim 
 and wide-spread Folk and Public radio airplay. More information is availab
 le at www.cliffeberhardt.net.\n\n“If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had
  a love child\, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife\, the results might
  be something close to the great Vance Gilbert\,” says Richmond Magazine
 .\n\nVance’s new album\, “The Mother Of Trouble\,” features Grammy w
 inner Lori McKenna on background vocals\, Juno award recipient and Bonnie 
 Raitt Grammy hit song co-writer Joey Landreth on guitars\, and Americana-R
 oots master mandolinist Joe K. Walsh. With 4 bullies\, 4 deaths (3 of them
  murders)\, 3 moms\, 2 accidents\, 2 Black people\, 2 dogs\, 1 dog ball\, 
 1 gay kid\, and 1 missed flight thanks to gas station sushi\, this album b
 enefits from the gifts of time and experience honing songwriting skills th
 at put this most vital of acoustic storytellers at the top of the game.\n\
 nVance was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. Starting out hoping t
 o be an R&amp\;B and jazz singer once at college\, there he discovered his
  affinity for the storytelling sensibilities of the acoustic singer-songwr
 iter thing. Word spread like wildfire about Gilbert's stage-owning singing
  and playing\, and Shawn Colvin invited him to be special guest on her 199
 2 Fat City tour where he took much of America by storm and by surprise. 
 “With the voice of an angel\, the wit of a devil\, and the guitar playin
 g of a god..” wrote the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.\n\n30 years into his c
 areer\, the songwriter’s influence can be felt all over the contemporary
  Folk and Americana realm as he has helped pave the way for many of the BI
 POC artists who have followed.\n\nTickets $30 advance\, $35 door\n\nALL SA
 LES ARE FINAL\n\nDINNER RESERVATIONS REQUIRE 1 ENTREE PER PERSON\n\nSHOW O
 NLY TICKETS ADMITTED 15 MINUTES BEFORE SHOWTIME\n\nADVANCE SALE PRICE ENDS
