Northern Ireland–born singer-songwriter Foy Vance unveils The Wake, his seventh studio album and the culmination of a decades-long creative journey. Produced by Brit Award–winner Ethan Johns (Paul McCartney, Ray LaMontagne), the record fuses folk, soul, and Southern blues as it reflects on loss, fatherhood, time, and hard-won acceptance. Vance’s gravel-edged voice and intimate storytelling draw on a life shaped by his preacher father and years spent between the American South and the Scottish Highlands. Onstage, The Wake unfolds as a vivid, human-scale songbook that honors the past while standing firmly in the present.
At the Wheeler Opera House, we set the stage for connections that create memories for our artists, audiences, and greater Aspen community.
