Eric Bibb and Gráinne Hunt
Two-time Grammy Award nominee Eric Bibb will come ridin' on to UK shores in January for a night at Celtic Connections 2025!
About Eric Bibb and Gráinne Hunt
Eric Bibb might be labelled a bluesman, but he defies categorisation, seamlessly sliding between musical realms. Grounded in the folk and blues tradition with contemporary sensibilities, Bibb’s music reflects his thoughts on current world events and his lived experiences while remaining entertaining, uplifting, inspirational, and relevant.
Bibb’s back catalogue boasts over 40 albums, with his ethos exemplified in 2023’s Grammy-nominated Ridin’, which draws inspiration from the painting A Ride for Liberty by Eastman Johnson, depicting a Black family fleeing enslavement during the Civil War. His 2024 album In The Real World, recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, received widespread critical acclaim.
Support comes from contemporary Irish nu-folk singer-songwriter Gráinne Hunt. With a voice like complex coffee, she has sung with Glen Hansard and U2, opened for Gladys Knight and Eagle Eye Cherry, and been compared to Tracy Chapman and Dolores Keane.
“The hardest-working woman in Irish music” (Glen Hansard)
