Eric Bibb

Eric Bibb is a contemporary blues singer-songwriter and guitarist, born into a musical family on August 16, 1951, in New York City. He is the son of folk singer Leon Bibb and godson of actor and singer Paul Robeson, which granted Eric a rich heritage that flavored his musical style with the traditions of blues, folk, and gospel. His career began in the folk clubs of New York and Paris in the 1960s and 1970s, eventually gaining prominence in the 1990s. Throughout years of performing and recording, Bibb has been known for his rich vocals and passionate guitar playing, often compared to legends like Taj Mahal and Keb' Mo'.

With a career spanning several decades, Bibb has consistently delivered deeply sincere narratives and soulful performances that grapple with the human condition. His recent albums, such as "Global Griot" (2018), and "Dear America" (2021), showcase his mature artistry and commitment to exploring socially conscious themes within the framework of blues music. Bibb's work resonates with authenticity, from poignant tracks like "The Ballad of John Howard Griffin," which reflects on racial issues, to the personal and uplifting "Family." Whether he is on stage performing solo or collaborating with fellow musicians, Eric Bibb continues to enchant audiences worldwide with his warmth, wisdom, and musical excellence.
