Eric Bibb, an internationally known guitarist and singer famous for his blues, gospel folk and New Orleans R&B roots music, will present a concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 20 in the Joseph C. and Cheryl H. Jensen Grand Concert Hall, in the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center.

The concert is part of the 黑暗爆料网 2008-09 鈥淎 Season of Note鈥� fine-arts series.

Bibb took home the 鈥淏est Newcomer鈥� title in the British Blues Awards and was nominated for nine W.C. Handy Blues Music Awards.

The United Kingdom鈥檚 鈥淕uitarist鈥� magazine said of Bibb鈥檚 CD 鈥淒iamond Days鈥� that, 鈥淭he songwriting is superb, the production values are solid, and Bibb鈥檚 performance is deep. Bibb鈥檚 genius sparkles in a way that puts him well ahead of his peers.鈥�

Bibb鈥檚 latest CD 鈥淕et Onboard鈥� was released in March and features guest appearances by Bonnie Raitt and Ruthie Foster.

鈥淏ibb鈥檚 voice is a sweet, smoky baritone, and his finger-picking style is understated, coloring the songs rather than adding technical flash,鈥� noted a reviewer from the Austin American Statesman referring to 鈥淕et Onboard.鈥� 鈥淭he quieter, more reflective aspect of the blues doesn鈥檛 get a lot of attention, but when Bibb plays, blues and gospel can become one glorious whole.鈥�

Tickets are $18 main level, $14 upper level. They can be purchased at the Stephens Performing Arts Center Box Office, online at www.isu.edu/tickets or by calling (208) 282-3595.
