Early life and bluegrass roots
Gill grew up in Oklahoma and attended Northwest Classen High School in Oklahoma City, where he played in the bluegrass band Mountain Smoke. After high school he moved to Louisville, Kentucky, to join the Bluegrass Alliance, then played briefly in Ricky Skaggs’s Boone Creek before heading to Los Angeles and joining Byron Berline’s band Sundance. Those years built the guitar and harmony skills that later made him a first-call player in Nashville.
Career highlights
Pure Prairie League
Gill became lead singer of the country rock band Pure Prairie League in 1978 and sang lead on “Let Me Love You Tonight,” which reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. He left the group in 1982.
A slow solo start, then a breakthrough
He signed with RCA Nashville in 1983 and released music there until 1988 with limited commercial success. Around that time Mark Knopfler invited him to join Dire Straits on tour; Gill turned it down because he wanted to stay in country music. Moving to MCA Nashville in 1989 changed everything. The album When I Call Your Name (1989) was his breakthrough, and the title song became one of his signature recordings.
The early 1990s were his commercial peak. Pocket Full of Gold (1991) and When I Call Your Name were each certified double platinum, and I Still Believe in You (1992) went five times platinum. Between 1992 and 1994 he scored number-one country hits with “I Still Believe in You,” “Don’t Let Our Love Start Slippin’ Away,” “One More Last Chance” and “Tryin’ to Get Over You.”
“Go Rest High on That Mountain”
His best-known song is often said to be “Go Rest High on That Mountain.” Gill began writing it after the death of country singer Keith Whitley and finished it about four years later, after the death of his older half-brother Bob. The song won the CMA Award for Song of the Year and became a standard at memorial services.
Later albums
Gill kept recording well past his chart peak, with projects aimed at artistry more than radio. Highlights include These Days (2006), a four-disc set certified platinum; Guitar Slinger (2011); Down to My Last Bad Habit (2016); Okie (2019); and Sweet Memories (2023), a tribute to Ray Price recorded with steel guitarist Paul Franklin. In October 2025 MCA announced a lifetime contract with Gill, and he began releasing a series of monthly EPs titled “50 Years from Home,” starting with I Gave You Everything I Had.
Joining the Eagles
After Glenn Frey died in 2016, the Eagles brought in Gill alongside Frey’s son Deacon. Gill made his debut with the band in July 2017 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and has toured with them since, including the band’s long-running farewell tour.
Awards and honors
Gill’s trophy shelf is one of the largest in country music. He has won 22 Grammy Awards, the most of any solo male country artist, along with 18 CMA Awards and 8 ACM Awards. He hosted the CMA Awards telecast every year from 1991 (alongside Clint Black that first year) through 2003. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1991, was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007, and in November 2025 the CMA announced him as recipient of its Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.
How Vince Gill built his net worth
Gill’s exact finances are private, so any net worth figure is an estimate. The roughly $30 million number that appears in published estimates is reported as a combined figure with Amy Grant, who has her own long, successful career in Christian and pop music. Here is where the money realistically comes from:
- Record sales: multi-platinum albums in the 1990s, led by the five-times-platinum I Still Believe in You, generated substantial royalties, and his catalog still streams and sells.
- Songwriting: Gill wrote or co-wrote many of his own hits, which earns publishing and performance royalties every time they are played on radio, streamed or covered.
- Touring: decades of solo tours, plus arena and stadium dates as a member of the Eagles since 2017, one of the highest-grossing touring acts of recent years.
- Session and guest work: his guitar playing and harmony vocals appear on records by a long list of other artists, from country to rock.
- Television and hosting: thirteen straight years hosting the CMA Awards kept him in front of a national audience.

Personal life
Gill married singer Janis Oliver (of the duo Sweethearts of the Rodeo) in April 1980; they divorced in 1997 and have a daughter, Jenny. He married Amy Grant on March 10, 2000, and the couple have a daughter, Corrina. Gill and Grant first worked together when he invited her to appear on his Christmas television special in 1993, and they have since performed together often, including holiday concerts in Nashville.
