Wells adds that usually these measures have a high bar to get over, so that when they do pass they enjoy a great deal of support.

Kate's Blog

The Folk Show Folk Show was an incredible evening of music and laughter with three of the folk community's finest. Vance Gilbert dazzled us with his sparkling red shoes and his warm wit and soulful tones. Vance's voice carries with such strength that I believe he could have done a whole show without a mic. And then, there's his heart...Vance Gilbert has a heart so big, none of us want for care. He's a true friend to many according to Cliff Eberhardt another shining star of The Folk Show Folk Show.
