Foy Vance biography

Foy Vance is a singer and songwriter hailing from the land of Bangor, Northern Ireland. Deeply rooted in the rich musical history and aesthetic of the Southern United States, Foy independently released his debut album Hope in 2007, quickly garnering acclaim from fans and fellow musicians alike. Foy released his second full-length album, Joy of Nothing, in 2013 on Glassnote Records which led to further critical praise and star-studded invites on tours worldwide from the likes of Ed Sheeran, Bonnie Raitt, Marcus Foster, Snow Patrol and Sir Elton John.

Foy was only the second artist signing to Gingerbread Man Records, Ed Sheeran’s label division within Atlantic Records. Foy’s debut recording on Gingerbread Man Records, The Wild Swan, was Executive Produced by Sir Elton John and released in 2016. His music video for the lead single “She Burns” featured “Pretty Little Liars” and People’s Choice Award winner Lucy Hale. His music video for “Coco” featured the inspiration for the song title, Coco Arquette, the daughter of Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and was directed by Cox as well.

Foy’s recent collaborations include “Moonshine” with Kacey Musgraves, the end credits track from Ben Affleck’s film “Live By Night,” four tracks including “Galway Girl” on Ed Sheeran’s latest album ÷, as well as cuts on recent releases by Miranda Lambert, Plan B and Rudimental.

Foy has headlined globally to sell-out crowds and resides in the hills of Aberfeldy, Scotland with his family.

Live reviews

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.
His live shows are pretty simple, in the best way possible. He’s got a dummer, a bassist, his guitar and a mic. His voice is so strong and has just the perfect amount of raspiness to it. His lyrics are about real life, but when you hear him live you get so much more. Since he writes all of his songs, there is a specific emotion behind all of the lyrics, and when you get to see him live, you get to experience all of it. You get to feel his excitement, his love, and his passion, things that don’t quite come through as much in his studio versions.
He was the supporting act for Ed Sheeran, so most of the crowd consisted of a lot of young girls. This meant that most of the excitement during his set was when Ed Sheeran came to join him for his song “Guiding Light.” Otherwise, most of the girls didn’t seem to have a whole lot of interest, which was really quite sad because his was my favorite act of the night.
