About Me |

" In troubadour Otis Gibbs, we may have found America's contemporary Billly Bragg. Not since late A&M period Phil Ochs have we heard such a distinctly American blending of the personal and the political" - Edward Burch, HARP MAGAZINE "It's the perfect mix of wit and grit." -Rick Cornell, NO DEPRESSION "Gibbs is a Midwesterner with a long beard, a trucker's hat and and a bag of sharply observed country-rock songs, some far enough to the left side of the political fence to make him a spiritual descendent of Woody Guthrie and brother of Steve Earle. But it's the heart-touching humanity he displays that wins your heart." -Larry Katz, THE BOSTON HERALD "This Indiana seed planter brings a breezy melodicism to acoustic songs with a leftist bent, which aligns him with the Seeger tradition of calling workers to unite while singing sweet, easy tunes that invite people to sing along.- Michael McCall, The Nashville Scene |
