FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: THE GIBSON BROTHERS AT THE KIRKLAND ART CENTER
CLINTON, NY (January 26, 2018): The Gibson Brothers’ brand of bluegrass is a visceral mix of heritage and soaring harmony, making them the premier brother duet of the genre, following in the footsteps of legendary brother acts such as the Stanley Brothers, Jim & Jesse, and the Osborne Brothers. Their first-ever album of entirely original songs, In The Ground sees the Gibson Brothers taking on their own roots as the sixth generation of Gibsons to grow up on their family farm.
The two-time International Music Association Entertainers of the Year follow up their stellar, 5-times nominated tribute to brother harmonies, Brotherhood, with this latest effort, which digs deeper into their commitment to family and their history. The themes come from the farm, their childhood, and the region in which they were raised. One can hear their dedication to the songs, from the lighthearted to the profound; in the modernity of the lyrics, matched with the virtuosity that feels somehow both traditional and revelatory. Featuring celebrated, award-winning Dobro player Rob Ickes, In The Ground reaches into new territory for the Gibson Brothers as they reflect on their past.
