Center fundraiser brings Vince Gill

(this piece was published by Planet Jackson Hole)

Famous for his choice songwriting, world-class guitar playing and soaring tenor, Vince Gill has earned a measly twenty Grammy Awards—more than any other male country artist. The accolades stack up much higher than that, including a 2007 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Initially making a name for himself with country rockers Pure Prairie League in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, he eventually found massive success as a contemporary country hit maker.

“In addition to hearing a renowned country music star perform in the intimate setting of The Center Theater, all proceeds from this event will support The Center to ensure top-quality programming throughout the year,” said Ponteir Sackrey, President of The Center Fund. Center for the Arts Annual Benefit Concert with Vince Gill, 8 p.m. Friday at the Center Theater. $152-$352.
