Carly Gibson and BJ Wilbanks are performing at the Wayfarer Music Hall with special guests, Cicada Rhythm. Tickets are $10 at the door! Carly Gibson is an experienced singer-songwriter and guitarist who has been playing professionally since the age of fifteen. She has shared the stage with many fine musicians, including Caroline Aiken, Donna Hopkins, Diane Durrett, Ralph Roddenbery, Tommy Talton, Geoff Achison, Jeff Sipe (Phil Lesh & Friends, Aquarium Rescue Unit), Chris Hicks (Marshall Tucker Band), Randall Bramlett (Gregg Allman, Steve Winwood), and Greg Robert (Kansas). Carly released her debut EP “Heavy Water” in 2010, and began work in early 2012 on her first full-length album at the legendary Tree Sound Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, with Donna Hopkins as co-producer. An avid live performer, she often collaborates with fellow musician BJ Wilbanks, where she can showcase her electric guitar chops. Don't miss an opportunity to experience the music of Carly Gibson. A home-grown Georgia native, BJ Wilbanks creates blues-infused music reminiscent of a bygone era, combining deeply-rooted Delta blues, country, funk, soul, and acoustic Southern rock to create a sound that is familiar, yet uniquely his own. His heartwarming tales of heartache, love, and home combine artfully with an engaging live performance that, in one moment, can sit you back in your chair and in the next, rock you right back out of it! Wilbanks crafts his distinctive sound with his trusty old acoustic guitar, often accompanied by finger slide or harmonica. His original songs range from break-your-heart romantic to stomp-your-foot grooving, merging back-porch soul rhythm with a gospel vocal overtone and a slanky, steady beat. He'll often sling his guitar over his lap to play a slide tune that evokes the image of old field working men and chase it with a contrasting tune filled with sweet strumming, gentle singing and smooth picking. http://cicadarhythm.org/
