Vance Gilbert will play at the Homegrown Coffeehouse on Saturday, March 25, at 8:00 p.m.
An electrifying songwriter and a fearless, compelling performer, Gilbert presents his music with deep humanism and bravery, stunning artistry and soul, and unbridled joy. His tunes are pop-catchy, his lyrics are superbly crafted, his guitar playing is fluid and lyrical, and his warm tenor voice is flexible and acrobatic. He unflinchingly renders blame and absolution, trapped hearts and free-riders, class and station, uncertainty and resolution, the spiritual and the visceral, the forever and the now, all side by side in song.
The Homegrown Coffeehouse is located at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, at the corner of Great Plain and Dedham Avenue in Needham center.
There is free parking and wheelchair access. Admission is $20, $17 for students and seniors, and will benefit the Church. For more information, call (781-444-7478) or visit www.uuneedham.org for directions, performer links, and advance tickets.
