BOONE, N.C.- On Thursday, November 9, the Appalachian Theater will host The Gibson Brothers, Eric and Leigh, in their debut performance on the Doc Watson Stage for Americana Music. The performance by the multi-award winning duet begins at 7:30 p.m. and doors open at 7:00 p.m.
What started as a discovery by Ricky Skaggs after a performance at the Ryman two decades ago has turned into a successful career for the pair in the bluegrass music scene. From working with big names such as Black Keys singer Dan Auerbach and producer Jerry Douglas, the Gibson Brothers have a resume anyone in country music would be proud of.
Released in early 2023, many are calling the Gibson Brothers widely acclaimed album “Darkest Hour” their best album to date. Written during the COVID lockdown, the album was intentionally crafted to sound as impressive in live performance as the recording does.
“Guys, the world’s going crazy. Let’s let this be our little cocoon.” Said the pair. “And we did. We cut all of the acoustic stuff and then went home and didn’t play any more gigs until things started opening. Then we went back and finished the record with Jerry in February of 2021.”
Del McCoury once said, “…when I hear someone like the Gibson Brothers, I know it’s them from the first note. They have that little thing in their voices that no one else has.”
