Eric Bibb
A performance by Eric Bibb is an enriching experience – both musically
and spiritually. Purveying a beautifully realised and deftly
accomplished, soulful and gospel infused, folk- blues, Eric has no
problem melding a traditional rootsy American style with a subtle
contemporary sensibility. In this evening's intimate concert at The Cedar, Eric will be featuring material from his brand new album Diamond Days (scheduled for US release on Jan 24, 2007). No other
compilation of songs gives you a greater insight into the workings
of the wonderful Mr Bibb – from the glorious, moving personal
crossroad of “Heading Home”, to the loving humility
in the tribute to those who formed his music, “Still Livin’ On”,
through the upbeat celebration of life that is “Shine On”.
Eric Bibb has written and recorded the album of his career in
Diamond Days.
Eric's talent for both performing and songwriting has been recognised with a Grammy Nomination (for Shakin' a Tailfeather) and 4 W.C.Handy nominations (for the albums Spirit andthe Blues, Home To Me and A Ship Called Love; for 'Kokomo' as Best Acoustic Blues Song of the Year, and for Best Acoustic Blues Artist of the Year). His songs have featured on TV shows such as BBC TV's 'Eastenders' and "Casualty", and "The District" in the USA. Eric's version of "I Heard the Angels Singin'" was included in the feature film "The Burial Society" and Eric appears on Jools Holland's double platinum-selling album "Small World, Big Band", singing his own composition "All That You Are".
Old Song
Do not seek too much fame,
But do not seek obscurity.
Be proud,
But do not remind the world of your deeds.
Excel when you must,
But do not excel the world.
Many heroes are not yet born,
Many have already died.
To be alive to hear this song is a victory.
(Traditional, West Africa) (from liner notes Diamond Days).
