Vince Gill

Vince Gill was born in 1957 and has been a successful country artiste for many years. He was born in Oklahoma… his father was a lawyer who played in a small country band. He encouraged his son to learn how to play country and bluegrass instruments… and to go in for a musical career. After leaving high school, in the mid-1970s Vince moved to Kentucky where he joined a bluegrass band. He worked with Ricky Skaggs and later became a member of the band that backed Rodney Crowell, ex husband of Roseanne Cash. During the 1980s, he had record deals but was only a moderate success, though he was a talented musician and had a good tenor voice. In the 90's he became a member of the Grand Old Opry. He had married a singer Janis Oliver, in 1980, and they had a daughter... But their marriage ended in divorce in 1997. He remarried in March 2000 to Christian singer, Amy Grant and they have one daughter. He is an ardent golfer in his spare time..I saw Vince on the Grand Old Opry a few years ago, and he was a charming funny and talented performer.
