Foy Vance added to 2013 Folks Fest lineup

[BluegrassBrian]

We're excited to share our final lineup addition to the 23rd Annual Rocky Mtn Folks Festival...

Deeply soulful Irish singer-songwriter Foy Vance will be performing Saturday afternoon (Aug 17) before Shane Koyczan, Patty Griffin, and John Butler Trio.

If you're not yet familiar with Foy, be warned that you'll probably spend the rest of your day affected by his music.

His upcoming album "Joy of Nothing" (available late August on Glassnote) is a compelling and gorgeous listen start-to-finish.  Here's a heartwarming video of that sweet title tune (featuring Foy and his daughter):

This song "Guiding Light" is basically perfect ("When I need to get home, you're my guiding light...") and destined to become a staple of the campground song circles...

And here's an intimate performance of "Janey":

After literally dozens of listens to his upcoming album ("Joy of Nothing") I remain obsessed with Foy's music... I just love that Irish soul.

Here's a newly released live video of the opening track of the album from the Bushmills Distillery:

Any other Foy fans out there yet?

Watching that video just made a fan out of me!  I won't miss his performance.
