Vince Gill

What was your first gig and how did it go?

“My first gig was as a little boy: I played guitar at a fire station grand opening and they couldn’t have been more disinterested. So it started me on that path of not getting too uptight if people ignored me. The first paid gig I did I was 15 and I was asked to play at this pub and played all night long for four, five hours, four or five sets, and at the end of the night the lady said she wasn’t going to pay us. So the first gig I ever did I got stiffed.”
