Eric Bibb

Eric Bibb is an expatriate American, roots music singer, songwriter and guitarist, currently based in London, England. His sound exists at the crossroads of Delta blues, American folk, pre-war gospel and early soul. He made his recording debut with 1972's Ain't It Grand, followed by the acclaimed Rainbow People in 1977.

To meet Eric is to be struck by both his humility and his warmth. There is no pretense in him. He is remarkably centered, his convictions based in the values of the civil rights movement of the sixties. Eric’s music works in service of that dream, holding out a hope for a new world. He challenges us to do better, to reach higher, and strive harder. Like Mavis and Pops Staples, he wants to take us there.
