Description
The Gibson Brothers have been a powerful presence in the world of bluegrass and country music for decades, known for their remarkable musicianship and songwriting talent. Their journey began on a dairy farm in northern New York, where brothers Eric and Leigh honed their skills in harmonizing and crafting songs that reflect their unique life experiences. With accolades from bluegrass legends like Ricky Skaggs, and collaborations with industry icons like Dan Auerbach and Jerry Douglas, the Gibson Brothers have earned respect throughout the music world. Their rich harmonies and genre-spanning sound have garnered critical acclaim, and their latest album, Darkest Hour, is a testament to their enduring artistry. Produced by 14-time Grammy® Award winner Jerry Douglas, Darkest Hour features an impressive array of talent and showcases the brothers’ seamless ability to shift between heartfelt country soul and high-energy bluegrass.
From working with producers like Skaggs, Auerbach, and Douglas to having their songs recorded by bluegrass luminary Del McCoury, the Gibson Brothers have built an extraordinary career without becoming household names. Their latest work, Darkest Hour, recorded amidst the pandemic, brings their songwriting and musicianship to the forefront, with standout tracks like “I Go Driving” and “What a Difference a Day Makes.” Whether it’s Leigh’s stunning vocal collaboration with Alison Krauss or the intricate acoustic work throughout the album, the Gibson Brothers prove once again why they are among the most respected songwriters and performers in the industry. As they continue to tour and create music, the Gibson Brothers remain true to their roots, bringing authentic and deeply resonant country music to audiences worldwide.
