“Eric Bibb is one of the finest of black American exponents of acoustic blues, an engaging performer and a rousing guitarist who is blessed with a remarkable voice. He has long been established as a cult hero…” The Guardian (London)
As the godson of Paul Robeson, nephew of John Lewis and the son of Leon Bibb (founder of the Modern Jazz Quartet) Eric Bibb was raised in an environment where music matters crucially. He brings that same intensity, along with what the Dayton Daily News calls “grace, elegance and gentleness,” to the concert state as a mature and popular performer. Nominated for nine W.C. Handy Blues Music Awards and a Grammy that speaks of his ability to “use standard blues ingredients and to cook up something all his own.”
