Description

An evening of humor, storytelling, and music with Vance Gilbert with opener Henning Ohlenbusch (of Gentle Hen). Vance Gilbert is coming to Victor Saviatto Coffeehouse Concert Series! Special Guest - Henning Ohlenbusch (of Gentle Hen) About Vance — “If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might have been something close to the great Vance Gilbert.” As the above quote from Richmond magazine suggests, Vance Gilbert defies stereotypes. It’s little wonder then that he also exceeds expectations. In this case, those two qualities go hand in hand. “I’m black, I sing, I play an acoustic guitar, and I don’t play the blues,” Gilbert insists. That may be a broad statement, but it rings with truth. What he does do is make memorable music, as evidenced by the 13 albums he’s released so far, as well as the mark he’s made on the folk and acoustic music scenes in general. Over the course of a prolific career that extends back to the early ’90s, he’s recorded with his good friend Ellis Paul and shared stages worldwide with Aretha Franklin, Shawn Colvin, Arlo Guthrie, the Milk Carton Kids, George Carlin (150+ shows), Anita Baker, the Subdudes, Paul Reiser and any number of others. About Henning Henning is a singer, a songwriter, a multi-instrumentalist, a producer, and a performer. He makes albums on his own and with his band Gentle Hen (previously known as School for the Dead). He also records and performs in The Fawns, Sitting Next To Brian, Bourgeois Heroes, and Goldwater. He produced Mark Mulcahy's critically loved album "Dear, Mark J. Mulcahy, I Love You"and Ray Mason's "The Shy Requester". He also scored the music for the documentary "Life on the V" about the 1980's independent music video channel from Boston V-66. Past bands include Humbert, The Aloha Steamtrain, The Greenbergs, and The Gay Potatoes. Henning has been a touring player with Winterpills, Spouse, Chris Collingwood, Polaris, and Mark Mulcahy.
