Vance Gilbert, Ellis Paul and Jill Sobule
to Perform at William Paterson University
Vance Gilbert, a renowned guitarist and songwriter, Ellis Paul,
a mainstream folk songwriter and Jill Sobule, a famed singer and
songwriter, will present an evening of contemporary acoustic music
at William Paterson University’s Shea Center for Performing
Arts in Wayne on April 16 at 8 p.m.
Gilbert, originally from Willingboro, New Jersey, began playing
bass in college but later switched to acoustic guitar and singing.
He started performing in cocktail lounges and began teaching in
the Boston-area public schools. Gilbert has released three albums
including Shaking Off Gravity and One Thru Fourteen.
He has toured throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Eillis Paul was born in Maine and discovered that he had an interest
in songwriting while attending Boston College. His songs have regularly

10 albums and recently explored new media genres with a documentary/concert
DVD called 3,000 Miles and Notes from the Road,
a critically acclaimed book of poems and stories.
Originally from Denver, Colorado, Sobule didn’t consider a
career performing until she spent her junior year of college in
Spain. Her 1995 hit single, I Kissed a Girl, gained her
immediate popularity and her song Supermodel was featured
in the comedy hit, film Clueless. Sobule has performed
in off-Broadway musicals, made an appearance on the T.V. show The
West Wing and composed songs for the Nickelodeon series Unfabulous.
