Though The Times of London did say that bluesman Eric Bibb has “a voice to die for,” no such sacrifices are required to enjoy Bibb’s appearance at The Triple Door. Already enjoying success in Europe, this Grammy nominee is rapidly becoming a familiar face - and voice - in the U.S. Nominated for nine W.C. Handy Blues Music Awards and winner of “Best Newcomer” at the British Blues Awards, Bibb has been praised as “discreetly awesome” and “a total original.” As his popularity escalates, earlier comparisons to legendary greats Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal are being swapped for quotes in awe of his ability to “use standard blues ingredients to cook up something all his own.” Now, armed with his voice, guitar and unique spirit, he mixes up something pretty potent on stage in Seattle.
