|  | Eric Bibb |  |
 Eric was born In New York into a musical family. Eric's father, Leon Bibb, was a trained singer who sang in musical theatre and made a name for himself as part of the 1960's New York folk scene. His uncle was the world famous Jazz pianist and composer John Lewis, of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Family friends included Pete Seeger, Odetta and actor/singer/activist Paul Robeson, Eric's godfather.
The album Good Stuff was released in 1997 followed by Home to Me (1999), Roadworks (2000) and Painting Signs (2001). In 2005 A Ship Called Love was released and was nominated for Acoustic Album of the Year in the 2006 Blues Music Awards. A performance by Eric Bibb is an enriching experience – both musically and spiritually. Purveying a beautifully realised and deftly accomplished, soulful and gospel infused, folk- blues, Eric has no problem melding a traditional rootsy American style with a subtle contemporary sensibility. As one critic wrote “Eric’s singing and versatile guitar playing fuses a variety of genres to become a New World Blues”. | | Date: 1st June 2008
