Three-time Grammy-nominated blues legend **Eric Bibb** returns to Australia with his first full-band tour since early 2023, celebrating his groundbreaking new album _One Mississippi_ (out January 2026). Expect the complete live experience: Bibb’s unmistakable voice and storytelling, backed by a powerhouse trio featuring **Staffan Astner** on guitar (Celine Dion, Ray Charles), **Glen Scott** (musical director and bass) and former “forever drummer” for Nina Simone, **Paul Robinson**. Together, they bring _One Mississippi_ to life in all its soulful, socially conscious and musically adventurous glory. The set blends new material, including the infectious first single “This One Don’t”, with beloved songs from Bibb’s rich catalogue and a few surprises saved for Australian audiences. Known for concerts that are intimate, passionate and profoundly human, Bibb now expands that warmth into a dynamic, rhythm-filled celebration of peace, justice and unity. Don’t miss one of contemporary blues’ most inspiring artists at the height of his creative powers.
