With 19 Grammys and more than 22 million albums sold, Vince Gill has nothing left to prove.

Yet the country music triple threat — he’s a singer, songwriter and guitarist considered one of Nashville’s best — rocked the boat with his 2006 release “These Days,” which included 43 songs over four CDs.

It was a gamble that paid off when the set sold more than a million copies and took the Grammy Award for best country album.

That wasn’t enough for the Oklahoma-born Gill, who recently was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

If there's a particular number you want to hear during Vince Gill's "intimate evening" at Walt Disney Concert Hall on Saturday, go ahead and shout it out. Assuming Gill still knows the tune, he'll probably sing it.

That's quite an "if." The prolific country superstar has been making music since 1983, and he admits that he doesn't remember every number. But he's game to try.

alt Disney Concert Hall just might be onto a great little niche concert series. A few more shows like the intimate and illuminating performance Vince Gill turned in on Saturday could develop into a regular spate of shows that might be called “Where Songs Come From.”

His 90-minute show, for which he brought a no-frills trio for accompaniment, was chock-full of crowd pleasers, no surprise since fans were only too happy to take him up on his offer to play their favorites by shouting out titles throughout the evening.

Times Square isn't exactly the site that comes to mind when considering a classic country "guitar pull," but it was last night (Oct. 15) at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's second annual benefit at the Nokia Theatre.

Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm and Rodney Crowell each took turns singing lead throughout the night, aided by veteran sidemen Jerry Douglas and Larry Campbell.

John McEuen is producing a new music album by actor/comedian Steve Martin. The project is being recorded at Bennett Studios in New Jersey and Ocean Way in Nashville. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band veteran McEuen has brought in Earl Scruggs, David Amram, Tony Trishka, Pete Wernick, Tim O'Brien, Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, Jerry Douglas and Stuart Duncan for the project. Martin had a hand in writing all 15 tracks on the album, which is tentatively due for release in early 2009.

Contemporary Christian and pop music singer Amy Grant and her Country Music Hall of Fame husband Vince Gill like to schedule their tours at the same time so they can relax together when they’re back home in Nashville.

Sometimes their separate agents end up booking them in the same cities and venues, Grant said. Which is why both will soon be appearing in Bakersfield’s Fox Theater just a few days apart.

And it will be ladies first, as Grant performs for the San Joaquin Community Hospital Foundation’s 2008 Gala fundraiser Saturday, and Gill shines on the same stage Oct. 23 as part of his Vince Gill Acoustic Tour.
