Already enjoying success in Europe, Grammy nominee Eric Bibb is becoming a familiar face – and voice – in the United States. Nominated for nine W.C. Handy Blues Music Awards and winner of the Best Newcomer title in the British Blues Awards, Eric has been appropriately described as “discreetly awesome” and “a total original.” As his popularity escalates, earlier comparisons to legendary greats Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal are being replaced by quotes that speak to Bibb’s ability to “use standard blues ingredients to cook up something all his own.”
RATING: Blues with a positive message.
Tickets go on sale on September 20. Cost is $6 for BYU-Idaho students, $12 general public. No children under four.
