Foy Vance arrived into the public consciousness in the summer of '05 with the release of his widely acclaimed debut EP Live Sessions And The Birth Of The Toilet Tour. A series of gigs that saw him support such diverse artists as KT Tunstall, Pete Townshend, Joss Stone and Taj Mahal, led to two sell out nights at Ronnie Scott's, and these confirmed Foy's status as an outstanding emerging talent.
These shows amassed a dedicated fanbase and gained the Bangor born Foy support and admiration from his peers, including nine times Grammy Award winning Bonnie Raitt, who invited him to support her as special guest on her 21 date UK/European tour in April 06
An overwhelming response from US and Canadian audiences, due to the airing of two of Foy's songs (Homebird and Gabriel And The Vagabond) on the cult networked TV drama series Grey's Anatomy and a showcase at SXSW, led to a huge demand for the release of Gabriel And The Vagabond in the US, and the inclusion of Homebird in the Grey's Anatomy 2 Original Soundtrack album.
