Foy Vance - The Wake World Tour

Foy Vance brings The Wake World Tour to Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver on November 13, 2026. Raised between Northern Ireland and the American South, the Belfast-born songwriter blends British folk roots with shades of soul, gospel and Americana, carried by a textured voice and unadorned guitar work. From his debut Hope (2007) to Joy of Nothing (2013) and The Wild Swan (2016, on Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records), he has steadily widened his palette. The 2019 companion albums From Muscle Shoals and To Memphis leaned into southern studio traditions, while Signs of Life (2021) found a balance between introspective writing and melodic hooks. Alongside his solo records, Vance has co-written for other artists and toured widely, shaping a live approach grounded in voice, guitar and piano.

On stage, Vance ranges across his catalogue with ease, reworking songs and shifting from hushed ballads to more rhythmic titles. The set typically links earlier material with recent tracks, with stories between songs and close attention to dynamics. The Wake World Tour is an invitation to hear that mix up close, in the moment, from an artist who treats each performance as a fresh take on the work.
