Mountain Mayhem: Foy Vance returns to Aspen

The last time musician Foy Vance played Aspen, the altitude got the better of him. “What I remember from playing here — there was an oxygen tank,” Vance said, recalling his past headlining show in 2023 and his 2014 show with Brett Dennen, both at Belly Up. “Didn’t think I’d need it. Then I did!” Now, Vance is returning “for the first time in a long time,” bringing the North American leg of his 60-date 2026 Foy Vance World Tour to the Wheeler Opera House on Thursday, Nov. 19. From Aspen, the tour heads to Boulder’s Fox Theatre on Friday, then to the Gothic Theatre in Denver on Saturday. I recently caught up with him by phone at his home in Scotland, where he was between two records — one just out, one just beginning to arrive. In March, he released “The Wake,” his seventh studio album, on Rounder Records.
