With their song and album “Red Letter Day” recently picking up nominations for Song of the Year and Album of the Year at the Bluegrass Music Awards, The Gibson Brothers are one of the country’s hottest bluegrass bands.
The Gibson Brothers will perform live in concert at the Rappahannock High School Auditorium on Saturday, May 12, at 7 p.m.
Brothers Eric and Leigh Gibson have seven hit albums to their credit and have been joined by some of bluegrass music’s best artists on their work. Ronnie McCoury and Jason Carter, both award-winning members with the Del McCoury Band, worked with them on “Red Letter Day,* released last year.
Like their previous two albums, 2003*8 “Bona Fide’ and 2004’s ‘Long Way Back Home,* “Red Letter Day* topped the Bluegrass Unlimited album chart. It also cracked the top five on Billboard magazine’s Tbp Bluegrass Albums chart.
Opening for The Gibson Brothers is Virginia’s own rising bluegrass group Chesham Creek, consisting of Donny Lee Nuckles Jr., Liz Butler, Becca Isaac, Gary Keel, Patty Embrey, and Bryan Jacobs. Many Rappahannock bluegrass fans have heard these musicians perform at events throughout Northern Virginia, and locally in Sperryville
