Joe Vann with special guest Bloomsday
City Winery Pittsburgh Presents: Joe Vann with special guest Bloomsday Live in Concert on August 16th at 8pm
Vann grew up listening first to country stalwarts like Dolly Parton, Hank Williams, and Jim Croce. The down-trodden anti-heroes littered throughout their catalogues were natural thematic fits for Vann’s settings. “I grew up in a trailer with no electricity, no heat or air conditioning, just a generator for weekends if we wanted to put a VHS in,” he says. “My parents didn’t choose to have that kind of life, it’s not like they were really into nature or something. We just didn't have money.” To pass the time, Vann would read, swim in creeks, and eventually scored a drum kit. Later, he turned to 2000s indie titans like Feist and Sufjan Stevens.
