Hennepin Arts has announced that Vince Gill, the 22-time Grammy winner and highly-acclaimed musician, songwriter, vocalist, and producer, announced today he will embark on a 30+ city summer tour, beginning May 8 and wrapping in August with four nights in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium. There is much anticipation, as this summer’s tour will have Gill returning to some cities where he has not performed with his band in many years. Gill will be coming to Minneapolis on Thursday, May 22 at 7:30 p.m. at the historic Orpheum Theatre (910 Hennepin Ave.).

 Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 21 at 10 a.m. to the general public at the State Theatre Box Office (805 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis) and online at HennepinArts.org.

Gill has spent most of the last eight years as a touring member of the Eagles. The iconic band is currently in the middle of a lengthy run, performing before sellout crowds at Sphere in Las Vegas.

It was officially 50 years ago this summer when Gill left his home in Oklahoma and began touring. “I left home 50 years ago to try and become an accomplished musician and perform in front of whoever would show up. All these years later, it feels as special today as it ever did.”

As always, Musicians Hall of Fame member Gill will be joined on stage by a stellar cast of musicians. The eight-piece band features: Tom Bukovac (guitar), Eddie Dunlap (steel guitar), Jedd Hughes (guitar, vocals), John Jarvis (keyboards), Wendy Moten (vocals), Jimmie Lee Sloas (bass), Billy Thomas (drums), and Jeff White (guitar, vocals).
