Eric Bibb - Playbill Series at The Banff Centre

	Eric Bibb has been around the world and back, paying his dues and absorbing musical influences. From Africa, through Europe, to the Mississippi Delta, this acoustic guitarist and singer appears to be heir to the roots-blues throne created by Taj Mahal. Born in New York in 1951, and now based in Sweden, Eric was exposed to a broad spectrum of music, primarily the blues genre but also dipping into Gospel, folk and country. Following an impressive performance at the London Blues Festival in 1996, he was recognized for his unique brand of acoustic blues and was seen as an
artist of international calibre. His career took off and he’s been touring ever since, performing all over the world, appearing on TV and radio shows, receiving a Grammy nomination and releasing six superb albums. Mixing traditional and original material, these recordings illustrate his wide ranging musical influences. But Eric’s natural environment is live on stage. A performance by Eric Bibb is an enriching experience, both musically and spiritually, purveying a beautifully realized and deftly accomplished, soulful and Gospel infused, folk country blues.
