His voice is so strong and has just the perfect amount of raspiness to it. He’s got a dummer, a bassist, his guitar and a mic. His live shows are pretty simple, in the best way possible. How can you not love a guitar playing, handlebar moustache sporting, singing Irishman? Foy Vance deserves much more recognition than he already has, and hopefully will gain more from his 2013 signing with Glassnote Records.
It was well worth the 4 hour travel time and I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to have a great evening. Overall, I could not have asked for a better night. It was unexpected since he has more than enough songs in his wheel house. On top of his hits, Foy even did a few ad lib tracks and even songs I never heard of, (possibly new(er) stuff or covers). The highlight of the night was when he sung "you and I" to her onstage. It was really sweet and I am glad he has his family with him, considering the length or his touring. I was surprised to see him bring Ella up onstage for a few tracks. The audience was tuned in and sang along to many of his participation songs, which seems to be pretty much everything he sings. Throughout the evening Foy did did stay the course playing his new stuff, but occasionally slipped in a few older favorites as well.

When he opened with "Closed Hand Full Of Friends" I was beyond pleased. When Foy stepped on stage, I was only expecting to hear The Wild Swan songs as I heard he was only doing new stuff this tour. He reminded me of Bob Dylan and offered up some great songs that were well arranged and performed. He appeared a tad goofy on stage but really got the audience in the right mood. Trevor Sensor opened up and he did a great job warming up the crowd.
It's the closest I have ever been to a performer in my 20 years of concert going. I was literally 2 feet away from the stage. The venue, Rough Trade, NYC was intimate with great sound. I came expecting to see Foy belt out hits from his new album.
