Vince Gill adds spring, summer dates

Country star Vince Gill continues to fill out his spring and summer tour schedule, with a sprinkling of new dates keeping the singer busy on the road over the next few months.

The Country Music Hall of Famer will continue his current trek March 26 in Mount Pleasant, MI, and the outing includes a pair of early May (5/1-2) shows in Prior Lake, MN, as well as a two-night engagement, June 15 and 16, in Alexandria, VA. Details are shown below.

Gill continues to tour behind his epic, four-CD release "These Days," which surfaced
in the fall of 2006 and landed in the Top 5 on the country albums chart. The platinum-selling set comprises 43 new and original songs that Gill wrote or co-wrote, and each disc explores a different musical mood: traditional country; ballads; contemporary, up-tempo songs; and acoustic/bluegrass music.

"These Days" features more than 20 guest performers, including Grant, Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Phil Everly, LeAnn Rimes, Gretchen Wilson, Michael McDonald and steel-guitar virtuoso Buddy Emmons. The Grammy-winning record has spawned the country hits "What You Give Away" and "The Reason Why" featuring Alison Krauss.

During his more than three-decade career, Gill has sold upwards of 26 million albums, earned 19 Grammys and taken home 18 Country Music Association Awards, according to his bio. The singer/songwriter/guitarist is also known as one of country music's most generous humanitarians, having lent his talent to hundreds of charitable events.
