Vince Gill isn’t slowing down in his milestone year. The Country Music Hall of Famer has released Brown’s Diner Bar, the third EP in his ambitious year-long 50 Years From Home project, and all signs point to a solo tour announcement coming soon.
Brown’s Diner Bar arrives as a deeply reflective chapter in the series, pulling inspiration from Gill’s five decades of life, songwriting, and time spent around Nashville’s legendary late-night institutions. The title track nods to the iconic Music Row hamburger joint that has served as a gathering place for songwriters and musicians for generations. It is classic Gill storytelling. Warm, lived-in, and quietly devastating in the best way.
The EP features six new songs, written or co-written by Gill, with collaborators including ERNEST, Leslie Satcher, Wade Bowen, Jake Worthington, and Waylon Payne. Longtime fans will immediately recognize the emotional throughline that has defined his catalog, paired with the perspective of an artist who knows exactly who he is at this stage of life.
While official dates have not yet been revealed, the release confirms that upcoming solo tour plans are on the horizon. Given the intimate, songwriter-forward nature of 50 Years From Home, expectations are high for a stripped-down live setting that puts Gill’s voice, guitar, and stories front and center.
No events found.This EP also follows a career-defining moment for Gill, who was recently honored with the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. Even so, Brown’s Diner Bar makes it clear he is not looking backward. He is still writing, still touring, and still connecting dots between where he came from and where he is now.
Fans should keep an eye on tour announcements in the coming weeks. If these songs are any indication, this next run will be one of those rare chances to see a legend in a small-room mindset.
