Live At The Scala Theatre Stockholm 2022

Description

3 years after the release of her last studio album, SUE FOLEY returns with an album in tribute to the pioneering women of the guitar.
Live at The Scala Theatre is the latest recording from blues troubadour Eric Bibb, following the Grammy Award-nominated album, "Ridin."
Produced and recorded in front of a live audience at the Scala Theatre in Stockholm on September 30, 2022, the atmosphere captured in these recordings is electric. With a career now spanning five decades, three Grammy Award nominations, a multitude of Blues Foundation awards, and countless other accolades, Eric Bibb has secured his legacy as a legendary figure in blues and roots music. Live at The Scala Theatre features a selection of songs drawn from Bibb's history, infused with folk and blues tradition and contemporary sensibility.
The show features a lineup of star musicians, including his long-time collaborator Eric, MD, and producer Glen Scott on bass, keyboards, and drums and vocals, Olle Linder on drums and acoustic bass, Johan Lindström on Pedal Steel and electric guitar, Christer Lyssarides on electric guitar and mandole, Esbjörn Hazelius on violin and cittern, Greger Andersson on harp, Lamine Cissokho on kora and vocals, special guest singers Sarah Dawn Finer, Rennie Mirro, and Ulrika Bibb, as well as string arrangements by Erik Arvinder and David Davidson, performed by Hanna Helgegren and Sarah Cross on violins, Christopher Öhman on viola, and Josef Ahlin on cello.
As Eric reflects on his musical journey, gratitude permeates. The evolution is evident in his voice and guitar playing, with lyrics grounded in truth and encouraging a vision of unity in a world filled with divisive rhetoric. Eric Bibb is more than a blues troubadour – he is a storyteller and philosopher. His legacy lies not only in the notes he plays or the stages he walks but in the questions he asks and the hope he instills.
