After four decades of live gigs, “The Bumblebee” still plays every set like it was his last. City, country, fingers, picks, or slide, Bob lays down the foundation of all American Music: The Blues. Whether pickin or slidin on his old National Resonator or Silvertone electric, the music explodes, seduces and grooves.
Singer/songwriter, Mark Gibson, has been a professional musician for 15 years. Originally from Tulsa, OK, he now resides in Cincinnati, OH. His music is soul-tinged and bluesy, and it seeks the right balance between rawness and refinement. He’s released numerous albums throughout his career, with his latest offering, “Live From Soul City,” (2018). The album accurately captures Gibson’s live shows; a dynamic performer with a wonderful band that can glide between being smooth and unassuming, to creating attention grabbing, emotional crescendos. When he performs solo, he records and loops acoustic and electric guitar in real-time, and then sings over the top. It makes for a more exciting and complex performance than the typical acoustic performance.
