Eric Bibb (b. 1951) is an American blues singer and guitarist, based in London, England, who has made his career largely in Europe.
Bibb was born on 16th August 1951 in New York into a musical family. His father, Leon Bibb, is a trained singer who sang in musical theatre and made a name for himself as part of the 1960s New York folk scene. His uncle was the world-famous jazz pianist and composer John Lewis, of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Family friends included Pete Seeger, Odetta, and actor/singer/activist Paul Robeson, Bibb’sgodfather.
Bibb was given his first steel-string guitar when he was seven years old. Growing up surrounded by talent, he recalls a childhood conversation with Bob Dylan, who, on the subject of guitar playing advised the eleven-year-old Bibb to “Keep it simple, forget all that fancy stuff”.
At sixteen years old, Bibb’s father invited him to play guitar in the house band for his television talent show Someone New. Bibb’s early musical heroes were from his father’s band, and included Bill Lee (father of director Spike), who appeared on Bibb’s album Me To You, years later.
In 1969, Bibb played guitar for the Negro Ensemble Company at St Mark’s place in New York, and went on to study Psychology and Russia...
