Eric Bibb生于正宗美国布鲁斯和乡村音乐世家。 他的父亲Leon Bibb是60年代的民谣和歌剧院歌手,兼玩电视业。他舅舅是鼎鼎大名爵士钢琴师和作曲家 John Lewis, Modern Jazz Quartet里的核心人物。他干爹是Paul Robeson 歌唱家加名演员。生长在触手可及的音乐环境了,小Bibb打小就颇受Odetta, Richie Havens, Pete Seeger, Earl Robinson, Joan Baez, 鲍勃·迪伦, 茱蒂·柯林斯等等的影响。
Eric7岁开始玩吉他,到了初中已经彻底迷恋音乐。18岁(69年)他进了纽约的“全黑伙伴”(“Negro Ensemble Company”)开始表演吉他。19岁去了巴黎闯天下,先是餐馆里弹弹。然后跑到瑞典,在70年代基本就呆在那里。
Eric Bibb头次签约是80年代初期给瑞典BMG当词曲创作。后来,他签约独立的瑞典唱片公司 Opus3, 留下了他最著名的一些唱片。这些唱片给他在国际上获得认可铺平了道路,此后可谓一帆风顺。 Eric Bibb的演奏总是让人获得音乐上和精神上的愉快的满足。音如其人--温和,亲密,热情!他总是让听的人卷入他的演奏,而不是做一个旁观者,所以经常有现场的听众听着听着站起来叫他“再来过再来过”。
Eric Bibb的歌喉温和淳厚的呼应着他完美的指尖技艺,加上他对福音和灵乐的融会贯通,他可以毫不费力地在自己的表演中混合各个音乐类型。就像评论写的:“Eric的歌声和千变万化的吉他融入了广泛的风格和音乐类型,创造了属于他的新的布鲁斯世界。
In the late 1990s Bibb joined forces with his then manager Alan Robinson to form Manhaton Records in Britain. The albums Home to Me (1999), Roadworks (2000) and Painting Signs (2001) followed, as did the 2005 releases for Opus 3, Just Like Love and Spirit & the Blues (Hybrid SACD of 1999 Earthbeat release). After that, he made A Family Affair (2002) with his father, Leon Bibb. This was followed by Natural Light, then Friends, which contained 15 tracks featuring Bibb duetting with friends and musicians he had met on his travels such as Taj Mahal, Odetta, Charlie Musselwhite, Guy Davis, Mamadou Diabate and Djelimady Toukara.
In 2004, Eric Bibb released Friends as his debut release under Telarc International Corporation. Bibb remained with Telarc Records from 2004 until 2011, releasing several additional albums including, A Ship Called Love in 2005, Diamond Days in 2007, and Spirit I Am in 2008. He released Booker's Guitar in January 2010 with music channeled from the Delta guitar master himself, Booker White, also known as Bukka White. In November 2011, Bibb signed to Stony Plain Records.In 2018, Bibb opened for George Benson on his UK tour.
