“Live At The Scala Theatre” is the latest recording from blues troubadour Eric Bibb, following on from the Grammy-nominated album Ridin’ from 2023. The recordings were performed and recorded in front of a live audience at Stockholm’s Scala Theatre on September 30, 2022. The atmosphere captured in these recordings is electrifying.
With a career now spanning five decades, three Grammy nominations, a host of Blues Foundation awards and countless other accolades, Eric Bibb has secured his legacy as a legendary figure in the blues and roots genre. Live at The Scala Theatre contains a selection of songs culled from Bibb’s history, steeped in the folk and blues tradition with contemporary sensibilities.
The performance features an all-star cast of musicians, including Eric’s longtime collaborator, MD and producer Glen Scott on bass, keyboards, drums and backing vocals, Olle Linder on drums and acoustic bass, Johan Lindström on pedal steel and electric guitar, and Christer Lyssarides on guitar, electric guitar and mandola, Esbjörn Hazelius on violin and cittern, Greger Andersson on harp, Lamine Cissokho on kora and vocals, special guest vocalists Sarah Dawn Finer, Rennie Mirro and Ulrika Bibb as well as string arrangements by Erik Arvinder and David Davidson, Hanna Helgegren and Sarah Cross on violins, Christopher Öhman on viola and Josef Ahlin on cello.
As Eric reflects on his musical journey, gratitude is omnipresent. Evolution is evident in his voice and guitar playing, his words grounded in truth and promoting a vision of unity in a world full of divisive rhetoric. Eric Bibb is more than a blues troubadour – he is a storyteller and philosopher. His legacy is not just in the notes he plays or the stages he graces, but in the questions he asks and the hope he inspires.
