The Bob Gibson Legacy Project

Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY


Folk aficionados will remember Bob Gibson as one of the first super stars of the folk music renaissance of the 50s and 60s.  He wrote and revitalized an amazing collection of songs, many of which have become folk standards.  With his ringing tenor and innovative technique, Bob brought folk music into venues that had never before experienced the tradition of the traveling troubadour.
The Bob Gibson Legacy concerts feature Bob's eldest daughter, Meridian Green, along with veteran entertainers Rick Grumbecker and John Heller performing as The Fare-Thee-Wells.  They take the audience on a musical journey through the heart of American folk music. From Greenwich Village's Washington Square to Chicago's Gate of Horn, from California's Mendocino Coast to Kerrville, Texas, through songs and stories, medleys and sing-alongs, playing banjo, 12-string, 6-string and Nashville high-strung guitars, they bring our shared musical history home.
