His daughter Meridian Green takes the BOB GIBSON LEGACY show on the road. Bob Gibson Legacy announces the release of 5 CDs beginning with "Bob Gibson, The Living Legend Years" on February 20.
Some of the most influential members of any music community are best appreciated by their peers. This is true of Bob Gibson, one of the first super stars of the folk music renaissance of the ’50s. Bob Gibson wrote and revitalized an amazing collection of songs, many of which have become folk standards, and no one, with the possible exception of Pete Seeger, was more responsible for popularizing the 12-string guitar. With his ringing tenor voice and innovative instrumental virtuosity and humor, Bob brought folk music into venues that had never before experienced the tradition of the traveling troubadour. Often in his travels he would run across an unknown performer with great promise whom he would bring to Chicago to be his opening act, Joan Baez and Judy Collins to name but two. In 1959, at the Newport Folk Festival, Bob Gibson became the first to introduce Joan Baez to a national audience. In 1961, Elektra Records released Gibson & Camp at the Gate of Horn. A ground-breaking live recording, it became folk music’s first GOLD RECORD and had a profound influence on everyone from Simon & Garfunkel to Gordon Lightfoot to The Byrds to John Denver to The Beatles. This is the legacy of Bob Gibson, singer/songwriter, co-writing songs with legends including Tom Paxton and Hamilton Camp, a play write, and so much more there’s not enough room on this flyer.
