Gibson Brothers on Bluegrass Country

The Gibson Brothers at WAMU - Clayton Campbell, Eric Gibson, Leigh Gibson, Mike Barber and Rick HayesThe Gibson Brothers stopped in at the studios of WAMU’s Bluegrass Country on Monday morning (6/2) and recorded an hour’s worth of music for broadcast on BluegrassCountry.org. On-air host Katy Daley tells us that the guys were crowded into their cozy studio space for the session, and she had the front row seat mere inches from the band.

They performed music from their new Sugar Hill CD, Iron & Diamonds, and chatted with Katy about all things Gibson.

You can catch their show during the second hour of Bluegrass Country’s Open Mic show, starting Saturday morning at 6:00 a.m. (6/7). The first hour features a set from The Whitetop Mountain Band.

After this coming week, the Gibsons set will switch into the online radio outfit’s Special Programming slot. The complete schedule for both shows can be found on the BluegrassCountry.org web site.

The Gibson Brothers have two of the most distinguishable voices in Bluegrass – their harmony is heavenly…

and their mandolinist Rick Hayes – top notch as well!

Both have exceptional new projects out now – dont miss ‘em!

Gracie & the Gang at the WWB!
