Eric Bibb

A two-time Grammy Award nominee with multiple Blues Foundation awards, Eric Bibb is known and revered globally for having carved his own musical destiny with honesty and power. Eric’s father, the late Leon Bibb, was an activist, actor, and folk singer who marched at Selma with Dr. Martin Luther King. Eric’s youth was spent immersed in the Greenwich Village folk scene. Names like Dylan, Baez, and Seeger were visitors to his home. He was deeply influenced by Odetta, Richie Havens and Taj Mahal, and he has synthesized all of that into his very own style.

As a follow-up to his grammy-nominated 2023 album Ridin’, Eric Bibb’s In The Real Word (2024) is a continuation of the vision that informs his artistry as a modern-day Blues troubadour. Grounded in the folk and blues tradition with contemporary sensibilities, Bibb’s music continues to reflect his thoughts on current world events and his own lived experiences, whilst remaining entertaining, uplifting, inspirational and relevant.

„[…] Eric Bibb hat eine beeindruckende Karriere hinter sich: in 50 Jahren hat er über 30 Alben veröffentlicht. Sein neuestes One Mississippi ist eines seiner besten. Zeitlos und gleichzeitig aktuell.“
Tonart – Deutschlandfunk Kultur, 01.28.2026
„Ein Meisterwerk der Modernisierung der ur-amerikanischen Bluesmusik […] eine kraftvolle Synthese aus historischem Erbe und zeitgemäß ansprechendem Groove.“
AUDIO+ stereoplay, 03.01.2026
„[...] gewohnt elegant, emotional und warmherzig. Ein weiteres Meisterwerk des Menschenfreunds Bibb“
Good Times #200, 02.01.2026
„Sein neues Album "One Mississippi" krönt sein Spätwerk erneut nicht nur in musikalischer, sondern auch in politischer Hinsicht.“
WDR 3
„Mit seinem aktuellen Album „One Mississippi“ setzt der Sänger und Gitarrist – Nomen est Omen – Südstaaten-Akzente, der Ur-Blues lebt auf. Überragend!“

„[…] Bibbs Musik ist von einer zeitlosen Raffinesse durchdrungen, die sie unwiderstehlich und stets voller Abwechslung aus den Boxen (oder besser noch aus dem Kopfhörer) abrollen lässt.“
Jazz Thing #162, 02.01.2026
"Seine Musik [...] ist von einer ruhigen Intimität, die berührt fesselt umhüllt und einem unmittelbar in die Augen schaut. [...] Bibb singt und erzählt mit angenehmer, beinahe zärtlichen Stimme und spielt dazu Roots-Musik, die neben Blues und Folk auch eleganten Bruce Hornsby-Pop und Gospel in sich trägt.“

„Streichelnder Songwriter Folk, der jeden Root Blueser abholt und allen anderen im Ohr streichelt.“
Classic Rock
"Bibb's guitar playing is often the highlight of his performances, as he effortlessly blends traditional blues with contemporary styles. His vocals are also a standout feature, with a smooth and soulful tone that perfectly complements his guitar work. In addition to his musical talent, Bibb is also known for his engaging stage presence. He has a natural ability to connect with his audience, often sharing stories and anecdotes between songs. This creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes his gigs feel more like intimate gatherings than large-scale concerts."
Stuart Stott
„Scott beweist sein feines Gespür für die unfassbar facettenreiche Performance des Meisters (…): Weltklasse !“
Gitarre + Bass
"And just like the man himself, the music that he plays does not seem to age. It remains timeless."
Simon Godley
"A magical night of blues that went way too quick"
