The Gibson Brothers - The Lyric Theatre
There’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled brothers Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut album. It’s the same thing that led David Ferguson and Grammy-winning producer and Black Keys frontman, Dan Auerbach, to co-write and produce their fourteenth album. The Gibson Brothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing. They can write a damn good country song. In their 25-year career, they’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name, released albums on just about every premier Americana label, and had their songs recorded by legends like Del McCoury. It’s a resume anyone in country music would be proud to have. They may not yet be household names but their latest album, Darkest Hour produced by dobro master Jerry Douglas and released in 2023, may change all that. You know you have something special when you hear Leigh singing with Alison Krauss and you realize his voice is as good as that of anyone in music today.
