About Foy Vance
Hailing from Northern Ireland and deeply rooted in the rich musical history of the Southern United States, Foy Vance has garnered acclaim from fans and fellow musicians alike since his independent debut album release in 2007.

Additionally, Vance headlined tours globally to sell-out crowds. Vance was the second artist signed to Gingerbread Man Records, Ed Sheeran’s label division within Atlantic Records. Vance's debut recording with the label, The Wild Swan, was Executive Produced by Sir Elton John and released in 2016. In 2019, Vance released two companion albums, From Muscle Shoals and To Memphis, recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and Sam Philips Recording Studio in Memphis.

This year, he’ll be heading on the road once again to play songs from his most impactful albums in Europe and Scandinavia.
