Experience Vance Gilbert and Jesse Ruben Live in Morristown
Get ready for an unforgettable evening of live music in Morristown featuring Vance Gilbert and Jesse Ruben. These two acclaimed singer-songwriters will bring their unique styles, powerful storytelling, and genre-blending artistry to the stage for one special night.
“If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the result might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert,” says Richmond Magazine.
Vance Gilbert’s new album, The Mother of Trouble, showcases his storytelling brilliance. It features Grammy-winner Lori McKenna on background vocals, Juno Award recipient Joey Landreth on guitar, and Americana mandolinist Joe K. Walsh. As the album unfolds, listeners meet a colorful cast—bullies, dogs, and missed flights—all sharpened by Gilbert’s wit and experience.
