One of the world’s leading bluesmen of our time, two-time Grammy Award nominee, Eric Bibb will come ridin’ onto Australian shores in February and March 2023. Returning for the Aussie summer, Bibb will perform the classics he is known and loved for, whilst introducing brand new material from his much-anticipated forthcoming album, titled Ridin’, which will be available ahead of its release date exclusively at these shows.
Ahead of Eric Bibb’s 2023 tour, Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips caught up with the blues legend to chat about his upcoming new album Ridin’, his guitars, career and of course, the extensive 2023 Australian tour.
Eric Bibb Ridin’ is a Roadsong/Laing Entertainment Tour.
