“If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might be something close to the great&nbsp;Vance Gilbert” (Richmond Magazine)… with “the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god” (Fort Worth Star-Telegram). This consummate songwriter’s influence can be felt all over the folk and Americana realm, with 14 albums to his credit and appearances from the Newport Folk Festival to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium to Boston’s Symphony Hall. Vance toured with Shawn Colvin and has been the opener of choice for artists as varied as Arlo Guthrie, Anita Baker, The Milk Carton Kids, Paul Reiser, and George Carlin.Over six albums, indie folksinger&nbsp;Eliot Bronson&nbsp;has forged a distinctive blend of atmospheric American roots music, earning awards and an international following on both sides of the Atlantic. Bronson is a diverse songwriter, bouncing between poetic turns-of-phrase and direct narratives, and he’s as compelling as a vocalist. Whether leaping into his falsetto or singing in a woozy croon, he wrings every ounce of feeling from his lyrics, bringing those emotions to vivid life.
The Baltimore native began writing songs as a teenager, inspired by his father’s record collection, which included Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and blues pioneers Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry. Raised in a working-class family shaped by both Pentecostal faith and 1960s counterculture, Bronson developed a musical voice all his own.He later moved to Atlanta, where he built an audience as a member of the folk-rock duo The Brilliant Inventions. His solo career took off after he won first place in the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest. His swooning, expressive voice and evocative songwriting have drawn widespread acclaim, including early praise from The Baltimore Sun, which called him “a folk singing wunderkind.” His album&nbsp;Talking to Myself, recorded outside Atlanta,&nbsp;is an album that balances mood and melody, intimacy and atmosphere, grounded songwriting and astral, ambient arrangements.

He has produced over twenty albums of other artists, from traditional fiddlers to contemporary singer-songwriters to educational and documentary works.

Rescue doesn't end when an animal leaves a shelter. It takes transportation, medical care, food, shelter, dedicated volunteers, fosters, and an entire community of supporters to get that animal from a difficult situation to a loving forever home.
Your participation helps make that journey possible.

Gather your foursome and join us for a day that combines your love of golf with a cause that changes lives.

Eleventh Hour Rescue is a primarily volunteer based, no-kill rescue that saves animals on Death Row from overcrowded high kill shelters, as well as taking in strays and owner surrenders before they go to the shelter. Eleventh Hour Rescue dogs and cats are cared for by our compassionate and dedicated team of volunteers and staff.
&nbsp;Whether in foster homes, our kennel, or adoption centers, each dog and cat receive a clean and safe living environment, fresh food and water, medical attention, and most importantly an abundance of love and care until they find their forever homes. We are dedicated to educating the community about the animal overpopulation problem and the importance of spaying and neutering, as well as microchipping. Our goal is to find the best forever home possible for all of our animals, no matter what breed, size, age, or medical need.
