A New York-born singer-songwriter who found his audience in Europe, writing straightforward songs about ordinary life.
If you want to hear what he does, start with 'A Simple Song' or 'Booker's Guitar.' They give you the whole picture, just a guy with a guitar, telling a story.
Bibb's music has that lived-in quality where it feels like he's just telling you something true. Songs like 'A Simple Song' or 'With My Maker I Am One' don't try to be anthems, they're just his voice and guitar, working through personal stories and social concerns without any polish. He's been quietly building this catalog since the late 1970s, and it holds up because it never chases trends.
Born in New York City in 1951, he grew up around folk music as the son of singer Leon Bibb. After moving to Europe in the late 1970s, his career found its footing in the 1990s with albums like 'Me to You' and 'Home to Me.' He's kept writing in that same vein ever since.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
