Vince Gill Tickets - Gill And Grant Celebrate 10-Year Anniversary

Some couples were just made in music heaven, and such is the case with Vince Gill and Amy Grant. Vince Gill is a versatile country star who has remained relevant over many years, and Amy Grant was a hit maker in her own right during the late 1980s and 1990s. On March 10, the musical duo celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, remembering their Nashville nuptials in 2000. They have been collaborating on charities ever since.

His wedding anniversary isn't the only thing Vince Gill has to celebrate lately. On Feb. 27, Vince Gill made an impromptu appearance onstage with guitar legend Eric Clapton. The dream gig happened when Clapton had a concert at Nashville's Sommet Center, and Clapton was partway through his acoustic set when he called Gill up to the stage. The two played four songs together: "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," "Running Faith," "I've Got a Rock and Roll Heart" and "Layla," before Gill stepped off the stage, but he came back at the end for "Crossroads." Gill and Clapton will meet up again on June 26 at Toyota Park in Chicago at Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival. Other celebrities to join in include Jeff Beck, Sheryl Crow and Buddy Guy.

Even though he has notched many country-pop hits on the charts, Gill is also widely respected for his guitar skills. The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum (AKA the Cowboy Hall of Fame) in Oklahoma City opened a guitar exhibit in March, which displayed guitars used by country greats like Garth Brooks, Toby Keith and Marty Robbins. Vince Gill also has a guitar on display, and GATV quoted Gill explaining his history with the instrument: "I got my own guitar when I was 10, but until then, that was the guitar that I tried to learn on. [Dad] had two guitars. That's the one I was always drawn to, to try to learn to play. I think it's got to be the first instrument I ever remember seeing."

The best way to experience Gill's music is to get Vince Gill tickets for his tour, which are available at StubHub.com, but those visiting Nashville's famed Station Inn may get lucky on some Monday nights. Gill has committed to taking the stage with the western swing band the Time Jumpers on Monday nights at the Station Inn whenever he isn't on tour. The appearances will be quite the steal for fans who want to see Gill, as the cover charge is only $10. Of course, it will be different from seeing Vince live in concert, as he is known for putting on quite a show.

Gill is also lending his voice for two worthy causes. Vince Gill and Amy Grant both took part of the single "Come Together Now" to raise money for Haiti relief. The single was organized by Michael W. Smith and included many celebrities like Wynonna, Steven Curtis Chapman, Toby Mac and many more. Gill's song "Go Rest High on That Mountain" will also be part of a new release called Sunday in the Country: 12 Inspiring Hits From Today's Top Country Artists. The album will benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and also includes Trace Adkins, Alabama, Diamond Rio, Tracy Lawrence, George Strait, Josh Turner, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Steve Wariner and Lee Ann Womack.

Beatles Acoustic Guitar Solos $15.29 I have loved the Beatles since I started playing guitar in the late '60s. Over the years I have put together solo arrangements of many of their tunes, those presented here and many others. For this recording however, I have gone back and reworked these 15 tunes so that they are as complete as I can make them. With some, I have tossed out my previous arrangments and started over from scratch. They ...
