Artist Information
In 1994, as a group of four, the Gibson Brothers recorded their debut album, Underneath a Harvest Moon, released by the independent label Big Elm Records. The album featured tunes including "Your Man in the Middle," "I Never Was Too Much," and "Tears of Yesterday." The group's music moves from fun and energetic to serious and deliberate, stirring in classic bluegrass and roots country in a way that makes each song original and the style all Gibson Brothers. In 1995, a performance at Owensboro, KY landed the group a contract with Hay Holler Records. A year later, the Gibson Brothers released Long Forgotten Dream. With songs including "Good as Gold," "Little Man in the Mirror," and "I Don't Know What to Do," the album did well enough to earn a place on the bluegrass charts, holding ground there for months. The title song made it into the Top 30 Survey for the Bluegrass Unlimited chart, reaching number ten.
The Gibson Brothers' next album, Spread Your Wings, hit the stores in 1997. It did as well as the debut. One of its tracks, "Picture in the Moonlight," hit the Top 30 survey. In 1998, the album Another Night of Waiting was released. One of its tracks, "She Paints a Picture," climbed even higher on the charts than its predecessors. In October of that same year, the Gibson Brothers signed on with the Ceili Music bluegrass label, owned by Ricky Skaggs, who produced the group's next album. Also in 1998, the Gibson Brothers were named the IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year.
Several more albums and years later, the band continues to contribute their special blend of bluegrass to the classic genre.
