NASHVILLE—January 5, 2026—Vince Gill’syear-long project, 50 Years From Home (MCA), continues with its third EP.Brown’s Diner Bar is the next in the series and releases Friday, December 9. The previous two releases from this ambitious endeavor from Gill include I Gave You Everything I Had (October 17, 2025) and Secondhand Smoke (November 14, 2025).

"As a songwriter, you have to live some life to understand what you’re writing about,” says Gill. “You need a few years under your belt to look back and really remember things. I know I don’t have as much time ahead of me as I’ve already lived, so everything matters more now. There’s a deeper connection to these lyrics than I ever expected — they’re truthful, they’re real, and they’re about things people can recognize and relate to.”

Penned by Gill, the title track of Brown’s Diner Bar, in fact, takes him all the way back -- 50 years to when he first visited the famed Nashville eatery he's immortalizing in song. "It's a singer-songwriter kind of folk song about...this little hamburger joint," says Gill, who also provides a smooth electric guitar solo on the track. "It's been in Nashville for 100 years now, and I've been going for 50. When I made my first trip to Nashville in the mid-70s I remember going to Brown's for a cheeseburger; they're famous for being really good cheeseburgers. It's a funky little joint, close to Music Row, so tons of singers and songwriters and musicians turn up there. It's just a great vibe."

Brown’s Diner Bar comes in the wake of Gill's latest career honor, the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award presented to him by George Strait on November 19, live during the CMA Awards on ABC. But as the six new songs here prove, the creative achievements are still coming for Gill, as they have for the past 50 years,

Special guests and co-writers on this collection include ERNEST, Jake Worthington, Leslie Satcher, Wade Bowen, and Waylon Payne.
