WALTON — Music on the Delaware has booked the Gibson Brothers to perform at Walton Theater at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 2.
According to a media release, the Gibson Brothers, Eric and Leigh, are described as “the real deal.” They can pick. They can sing and they write a good country song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award anyone can name and released albums on almost every premier American label one can name.
Growing up on a dairy farm in northern New York and then traveling the world in a bluegrass band has given them a unique vantage point on life. The songs on “Darkest Hour” are reported to be a testament to that.
There’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. And, it was the same reason that led David Ferguson and Grammy award- winning producer and Black Keys front man Dan Auerbach to co-write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” in 2018 and release it on his own label Easy Eye Sound alongside cultural icons such as Hank Williams Jr. and Dr. John.
Their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends no less than Del McCoury. It’s a resume almost anyone in country music would be proud to have.
Tickets may be purchased for the in-person and livestream concert at www.musiconthedelaware.org and select retailers.
There will be a brief intermission with an opportunity to win door prizes.
