Duo
Bluegrass formé en 1984 et composé de Eric (né le 23 Octobre 1970 à Plattsburgh
(New York) et Leigh Gibson (né le 11 Octobre 1971 à Plattsburgh (New York).
The
upstate New York bluegrass group known as the Gibson Brothers is really two
talented brothers and a father-and-son team who can deliver a close-knit harmony
without a hitch. The brothers are writer, banjoist, and vocalist Eric Gibson and
writer, guitarist, and vocalist Leigh Gibson. The father-and-son team is Junior
Barber on Resophonic guitar and son Mike Barber on acoustic bass. Brothers Leigh
and Eric began performing as adolescents, playing gospel instrumentals in the
local church. They added singing harmonies to their act a few years later, and
performed numbers by artists such as
Buck Owens and
Jim & Jesse. A musician by the name of Bob Fuller made sure the young
brothers were exposed to the music of bluegrass greats like
Red Allen,
Bill Monroe, and
Jimmy Martin.
In 1994, as a quartet, the Gibson Brothers recorded their debut album,
Underneath a Harvest Moon, released by the independent label Big Elm Records.
The album featured tunes like "Your Man in the Middle," "I Never Was Too Much,"
and "Tears of Yesterday." The group's music moves from fun and energetic to
serious and deliberate, stirring in classic bluegrass and roots country in a way
that makes each song original and the style all Gibson Brothers. In 1995, a
performance at Owensboro, Kentucky, landed the group a contract with Hay Holler
Records. A year later, the Gibson Brothers released Long Forgotten Dream. With
numbers like "Good as Gold," "Little Man in the Mirror," and "I Don't Know What
to Do," the album did well enough to earn a place on the bluegrass charts,
holding ground there for months. The title song made it into the Top 30 of the
Bluegrass Unlimited chart, reaching number ten.
In 1998, the album Another Night of Waiting was released. One of its tracks, "She
Paints a Picture," climbed even higher on the charts than its predecessors. In
October of that same year, the Gibson Brothers signed on with the Ceili Music
label owned by
Ricky Skaggs, who produced the group's next album. Also in 1998, the Gibson
Brothers were named the IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year. Two years later, the
band issued the playfully bittersweet Spread Your Wings. Bona Fide, which
appeared in 2000, marked their first for Sugar Hill; it included covers of the
Band's "Ophelia" and
Gordon Lightfoot's "Long Way Back Home," the latter of which served as the
title track for their fifth album. The band released Red Letter Day in 2006,
followed by Iron and Diamonds in 2008, both on Sugar Hill.
In 2009, the Gibsons released Ring the Bell, the first of a three album contract
with Compass Records. Help My Brother followed in 2011, with a guest cameo by
Claire Lynch, and 2013's They Called
It Music featured the group's trademark combination of original songs sequenced
amid standards to extend the bluegrass tradition.
The Gibson Brothers issued Brotherhood in early 2015; it was their first all-covers
record, and featured songs by
the Everly Brothers,
the Louvin Brothers, Jesse McReynolds,
Ralph Stanley, Bill Church, and
the York Brothers, as well as the
Blue Sky Boys. It was their debut offering for the Rounder label. In the
Ground, their second album for the label, arrived in the spring of 2017.
