Foy Vance Announces “Regarding The Joy Of Nothing Tour” with Bonnie Bishop

Award-winning Northern Irish singer/songwriter Foy Vance has announced a very special tour to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of his breakthrough 2013 album ‘Joy Of Nothing.’

Award-winning Northern Irish singer/songwriter Foy Vance has announced a very special tour to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of his breakthrough 2013 album Joy Of Nothing . “Regarding The Joy Of Nothing Tour’s” first US leg will kick off on September 6 in Solana Beach, CA. Vance will return to the US on January 18, 2024, to kick off the tour’s second US leg in Birmingham, AL. Bonnie Bishop will provide support on all US dates. Pre-sale tickets will be available beginning May 9, and general on-sale begins on Friday, May 12 at 10:00 am local time at: https://www.foyvance.com/tour/ .

Recorded in Donegal on Ireland’s west coast, Joy Of Nothing was Vance’s second full-length album and proved a critical and commercial breakthrough for the Bangor-born musician, winning the inaugural Northern Ireland Music Prize . All Music praised, “Steeped in the bold, big-sky expansiveness of the American Southwest, yet devoid of any of its machismo, Vance milks courage and strength from unflinching emotional honesty.”

Comments Foy:

“It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since releasing the Joy of Nothing. Thanks to all of you that have listened to it. To those of you that have shared stories with me of what the album has meant to you, oftentimes opening my eyes to sides of the songs that I never knew existed. It’s hard to articulate how much it means to have created something that you can inhabit just as well as I can. Regarding The Joy of Nothing… well it still exists and there is joy in it yet…here’s to the next decade of ’naught and everything’.”

“GUIDING LIGHT (ANNIVERSARY EDITION)” FEAT. ED SHEERAN, ELTON JOHN & KEITH URBAN AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 16 ON GINGERBREAD MAN RECORDS

 + ‘REGARDING THE JOY OF NOTHING UK TOUR’ IN DECEMBER

Foy Vance has today announced his very special new single, which features three of the biggest names in music. “Guiding Light (Anniversary Edition)” Featuring Ed Sheeran, Elton John and Keith Urban will be released on November 16 on Gingerbread Man Records, pre-save  here .   Originally recorded for Vance’s breakthrough album, 2013’s  Joy Of Nothing,  and co-sung by Ed Sheeran, his long-time friend, writing – including co-writing “Blue” on Sheeran’s new album  Autumn Variations  and “A Beautiful Game” for Apple TV+’s ‘Ted Lasso’, which has been nominated for a 2023 Primetime Emmy Award – and touring partner, for 10 years “Guiding Light” has provided a beacon of hope for Vance’s substantial worldwide fanbase. To celebrate this milestone, Foy has revisited the song with three iconic musicians who have been part of his journey and who continue to inspire him. Produced by Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid, the new Anniversary Edition of the song features new vocals from Sheeran together with musical icon Elton John, who has long-championed Vance, and Keith Urban, who has written with Vance and covered his 2016 song “Burden”. The backing choir on the new version consists of Anderson East, Patrick Droney, Devin Dawson, Bonnie Bishop, Lisa Gray, Etta Britt, Bob Britt, and NEEDTOBREATHES’s Bear Rinehart, Josh Lovelace, Seth Bolt, Tyler Burkum, and Randall Harris, and was recorded at Anderson East’s studio in Nashville.   “When I wrote Guiding Light I was feeling lost in my life due to a loss of family, friendships and reason,”  says Vance of the track.  “The music lit up the darkness. Melody reminded me to keep going no matter how long the road or how pointless it seemed.    “Guiding Light is the person or the thing that brings you back to a safe space, somewhere to lick your wounds and convalesce. To see this song resonate with so many people over the years has truly been a beautiful thing.”   “Guiding Light” (Anniversary Edition) arrives ahead of Vance’s upcoming  Regarding The Joy Of Nothing UK Tour . Recorded in Donegal on Ireland’s west coast, the album was a critical and commercial breakthrough for the Bangor-born musician, winning the inaugural Northern Ireland Music Prize.   In 2015, Vance became Sheeran’s second signing to his label Gingerbread Man Records and he has subsequently released two acclaimed studio albums,  The Wild Swan  (2016) and  Signs Of Life  (2021). As an in-demand songwriter, Vance’s collaborations include co-writing four cuts including “Galway Girl” on Ed Sheeran’s 2017 album  Divide , and he co-wrote the closing track “The Hills of Aberfeldy” on Sheeran’s new album  Subtract . He has also worked with Alicia Keys, Rag N Bone Man, Keith Urban, Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Plan B and Rudimental among many others, effortlessly switching between genres. Vance lives in the Scottish Highlands with his family.

Live reviews

I came expecting to see Foy belt out hits from his new album. I was treated to so much more. I was blown away.

The venue, Rough Trade, NYC was intimate with great sound. I was literally 2 feet away from the stage. It's the closest I have ever been to a performer in my 20 years of concert going.

Trevor Sensor opened up and he did a great job warming up the crowd. He appeared a tad goofy on stage but really got the audience in the right mood. He reminded me of Bob Dylan and offered up some great songs that were well arranged and performed.

When Foy stepped on stage, I was only expecting to hear The Wild Swan songs as I heard he was only doing new stuff this tour. When he opened with "Closed Hand Full Of Friends" I was beyond pleased.

Throughout the evening Foy did did stay the course playing his new stuff, but occasionally slipped in a few older favorites as well. The audience was tuned in and sang along to many of his participation songs, which seems to be pretty much everything he sings.

I was surprised to see him bring Ella up onstage for a few tracks. It was really sweet and I am glad he has his family with him, considering the length or his touring. The highlight of the night was when he sung "you and I" to her onstage. It was such an sweet moment.

On top of his hits, Foy even did a few ad lib tracks and even songs I never heard of, (possibly new(er) stuff or covers). It was unexpected since he has more than enough songs in his wheel house.

Overall, I could not have asked for a better night. It was well worth the 4 hour travel time and I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to have a great evening.

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.

Northern Irish folk musician Foy Vance has made quite a name for himself in a career that is less than a decade old. Touring with Ed Sheeran and appearing on a variety of TV shows has opened his music to a wider audience and keeps the demand to see Foy play live very high.

The northern Irish musician is more than happy to oblige with a sheer dedication to tour around to reach all the fanbase. He is the most at home on a stage with his trusty acoustic guitar and he seems to have found his true sound in the form of sophomore album 'Joy of Nothing'. The somber lyrics pairing against the stomping chord lines may contrast pretty dramatically at times however the sounds go down well with the enthusiastic crowd. He thanks them sincerely and highlights that despite not selling millions of albums, the ability to head out and tour is what keeps him impassioned and excited for his music. An endearing performance of 'Shed a Little Light' from the debut closes the night well and brings things full circle in a sense.

Foy Vance was incredible tonight! So many great songs, an amazing cover of Never Tear Us Apart and a tear jerking Purple Rain, a raucous crowd brought to silence by Guiding Light and a rousing call to get Foy back on for an encore that he ended singing unmic'd as the crowd hummed the final strains of Wild Swans - the only sounds in the room- PLUS a shoutout to the solo girl with a head cold and pink hair (yeah, that was me... it's just aqua now) BEST CONCERT THIS YEAR

The show was incredible and beoga (the warm up act) could easily have been the main act. The sound at the palladium is second to none. All of foys songs are really interactive and when beoga came on stage with foy the combination of everyone (foy Vance, beoga, Niall McCabe and Ryan McMullan) gave an amazing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely be going to another!

A unique talent. Great songwriter, tons of soul, real stage presence. While the show was really good, a couple of things would have made it better. The sound was muddied up by a nearly toneless bass. And the set was almost exclusively off the new album. Understand this is kind of a promotional tour but play some of the stuff that brought the fans out in the first place too.

Saw Foy Vance at The Globe in Cardiff - really small venue, but perfect for his music. He was a really great entertainer as well as a really captive performer. His set was a great mix of his classics, beautiful melodic pieces and upbeat music! Awesome musician as he moved around singing, playing the piano and the guitar. Really enjoyed and would really recommend.

Foy Vange and his musicians wetter excellent as always connecting with the audience and involving them in the gig. Ryan Mcmu mullen was also excellent as the support act, reminding us of Foy Vace circa 10 years ago when he supported Taj Mahal at DeMontfort Hall in Leicester.

One of the most unforgettable performamces that I have witnessed during my lifetime as a Denver native. You don't have many chances to see A musician as talented as Foy Vance, in an intimate setting like the Bluebird. Hats off to a AEG Live!

Best live musician I've ever seen. Eaxh show and record seems to be better and better. Brilliant live versions of his new album and some old classics. Entertainer and character on stage. What a talent! Can't wait to see him live again.
