You don't sell over two million copies of your debut album without some serious hard work, and Australian singer/songwriter Vance Joy has never been shy of major elbow grease. When Vance Joy first cut his teeth performing at open mic nights in Melbourne, he was feeding on a diet of artists like The Pogues and Paul Kelly. By 2013 he was ready to introduce the world to his ukulele-led charm 'Riptide', which became an instant global classic. The connection and journey his music was about to have on the world in years to come was an unexpected reward to the young songwriter.
Vance Joy (born James Keogh) consolidated on that first impression with further anthems 'Mess is Mine', 'Georgia' and 'Fire and the Flood'. Those hits all found a home on the 2014's debut 'dream your life away'. Vance Joy spent 2013 and 2014 playing clubs around the world before the album was released which then saw him surface everywhere from singing on the American Idol Season Final to being handpicked to open Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour, festivals from Lollapalooza in Chicago and South America, to Coachella, Splendour in the Grass and the AFL Grand Final. After his successful Sold Out 2016 'Fire and The Flood' North American theatre run, and Australian performances at the Sydney Opera House, Margaret Court Arena and Riverstage he took a well-earned rest.
Come July 2017 - Vance Joy kicked off the campaign for his sophomore album 'Nation of Two' with the lead single 'Lay It On Me' showing it was destined to be another successful album. The track was followed six months later with the album and follow up single 'Saturday Sun', a tune so good that he held up delivering Nation of Two to ensure it made the cut.
The success of 'Nation of Two' saw Vance Joy tour the world throughout 2018 on the 'Nation of Two World Tour' ranging in venues from Arena's across Canada, amphitheatres in North America including the famous Red Rocks, the first Latin American headline shows, theatres across Europe and Arena's across Australia including two sold-out hometown shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena. November 2018, the end of the 83 date World Tour, Vance Joy had yet another offer to tour with one of the world's biggest female artists. P!NK extended an offer for Vance Joy to join her European stadium run on her Beautiful Trauma World Tour. Summer 2019 saw Vance Joy and band join her biggest tour to date and enjoy an extensive run of Stadium shows across Europe before taking another well-earned break to work on album number three.
In 2021 Vance Joy returned with 'Missing Piece', the song soon hit x2 Platinum in Australia, #1 at USA Triple A Radio, #2 on the Australian Radio Chart, #2 at the USA and Canada Alternative Radio Chart and won Best Video at the ARIA Awards. Released in June 2022, 'In Our Own Sweet Time', the third album by Vance Joy featured hit single, 'Clarity' which peaked at #3 on the USA Alt Radio Charts. The song spent one week at #1, nine weeks in the Top 5 and eleven weeks in the Top 10 on the Triple A Radio Charts in the US. In Australia, Vance Joy received 5 ARIA Nominations after the album's release including, Best Solo Artist, Best Adult Contemporary Artist, Best Pop Release for Clarity, Song of the Year for Clarity and Best Video for Every Side of You. Winning Best Video for the 2nd year in a row.
With 5 billion streams across all platforms, it's no surprise that listeners all over the world connect to Vance Joys intimate yet anthemic song writing. His lyrics take you on a journey that will reach out and hold you for a delicate moment. Bringing together a unique, charming mix of folk music with pop influences, these songs capture the familiar pulse of everyday experiences in a unique and celebratory manner.
I am a long time Dan Mangan fan and new one of Ruby Waters and Vance Joy so I bought tickets right away. Sitting on a blanket watching music (and then standing on our blanket as it got dark) was much better than any other venue i have attended. The grassy amphitheatre is ideal, and everything was very organized.
Venue was good. Parking was a bit problematic. Artists were absolutely fantastic! Food at the venue was too pricy and you could not bring in your own even though it is an open air park. Also was told we couldn’t bring in our chairs even though they met the requirements posted on the venue site. Sitting on the ground is difficult for me because of some physical restrictions. But overall a great time
I have never seen Vance joy in person and this was an amazing experience. He sounds even better live!!! Deer Lake is a fabulous venue - outdoor, open air, blankets and dancing. Just wish the alcohol service didn’t shut down at 8pm! Loved the show.
The music was great, we mostly came to hear Dan Mangan, but the food lines were way too long. We waited an hour to get food from one of the food trucks. If you can't arrange for enough food vendors for the size of the crowd, then you should let people bring in their own food. The concert began at 6 so everyone wanted to eat dinner.
I saw Vance Joy at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby B.C. a few days ago. Needless to say they are just as good live as they are on their album! Played all of their hits songs and a surprise rendition of Gimme! Gimme! Gimme (A man after midnight) by Abba which has been blowing up on social media lately. A must see show for sure! You won't be disappointed. Can't wait to see them again soon.
We had a fun time; I would like to have seen Vance extend his songs and let the band play a little improvisation. Vance sounded really good, but the songs did not sound any different than the recordings.
This was such a wholesome touching experience His live is the same if not better than his recordings and the band’s vibe, especially the trumpet/trombone player, throughout the show was just amazing and beautiful I am definitely going to be seeing him again and at the same venue if possible
It was a fabulous venue and the concert was amazing!! It was so nice to be able to take the whole family and everyone could see (even the smallest kids). We enjoyed dancing to all of the songs that were so catchy and upbeat. The only downside was the insane lines for the bathroom and food. :( Other than that, it was a perfect experience for the whole family (ages 9-75)!
Vance Joys performance was amazing live. More food trucks might be my only suggestion.
This is my seventh time seeing Vance Joy live and my second time seeing him preform at deer lake. It’s was amazing. My only complaint is the amount of goose poop everywhere but other than that it was again wonderful concert!!
