Eric Bibb

Eric Bibb, international folk-blues master of songcraft, is returning to his Australian fans – new and longer term alike – to perform a series of inspirational concerts. This run of shows brought to you by Chugg Entertainment and Gaynor Crawford will take in capital cities, and includes much anticipated performances at Byron Bay’s Bluesfest music festival.

In duo mode for this Australian tour, Eric will be accompanied by beautiful Swedish guitarist Staffan Astner, (Celine Dion) who is also featured on a new live CD (called Troubadour Live!) that Eric will have available for this Australian tour.

Eric will showcase material from his latest full length studio release – Booker’s Guitar – an incredible album inspired by the opportunity Eric had to play a 1930s guitar owned by blues legend Booker White. Booker’s Guitar has gone on to recently win the 2010 DownBeat Critics Poll for best Blues Album!

While an artist that has been inspired by pre-war Delta blues music, Eric Bibb has brought the acoustic country-blues sound into the new century with Booker’s Guitar. The New York Post explains the genesis of the new album, “After a London gig, a fan approached Eric to see if he wanted to play blues legend Booker (Bukka) White’s vintage guitar, which he had acquired. White was B.B. King’s older cousin, and a master of slide acoustic guitar Delta blues. The experience playing that blues relic fired up Bibb.”
