In 1979, Vince Gill left Norman, Oklahoma, to chase his music dreams full time. He moved to Nashville and built a successful career filled with awards and accolades. In 2026, he will celebrate 50 years in music with his “50 Years From Home Tour.” To mark this milestone, Gill signed a lifetime contract with MCA Records and is releasing a new EP every month for a year, called 50 Years from Home. So far, he has released three EPs, each with six new songs and one classic hit:
– I Gave You Everything I Had (Oct. 17, 2025)
– Secondhand Smoke (Nov. 14, 2025)
– Brown’s Diner Bar (Jan. 9, 2026)
The tour will kick off on June 18 at the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando, Florida, and includes a six-night residency at the Historic Ryman Auditorium. Other stops in Florida include Clearwater (June 20), Fort Lauderdale (June 22), Fort Myers (June 25), Sarasota (June 26), and St. Augustine (June 27).
