History
Vince Gill was born on April 12, 1957 in Norman, Oklahoma. He lived there until 1975 with his mother, father, and half-brother, Bob Coen, who Gill always considered his full brother. His father, J. Stanley Gill, was a lawyer and administrative law judge who also played in a country music band part-time. Once he saw Vince’s interest in country music he encouraged his son to pursue a career in it. Vince Gill’s father also encouraged him to learn to play banjo and guitar, starting Vince down a multi-instrumentalist path early on. Vince took his father’s advice. He learned how to play banjo and guitar as well as bass, mandolin, dobro, and fiddle.
In 1975, the fresh high school graduate moved to Louisville, Kentucky to join the band Bluegrass Alliance. From there, he did a short stint in Ricky Skagg’s Boone Creek band before moving to Los Angeles where he joined Sundance, a bluegrass band fronted by fiddler Byron Berline. In 1979, he hit the national scene as the front man of Pure Prairie League, and the rest, as they say, is history.
