SINCE FIRST HITTING THE SCENE in the early 1980’s, Alan Bibey has made a name for himself as one of the most creative and technically gifted mandolinist in bluegrass and acoustic music. A stylist who turned heads as an original member of the New Quicksilver, IIIrd Tyme Out, and BlueRidge, his tasteful innovations and pristine execution earned him inclusion in the Young Mando Monsters project and Mel Bay’s 2000 Mandolin Book “The Greatest Mandolin Players of the Twentieth Century”. Alan’s contributions to The AcuTab Sessions: Knee Deep In Bluegrass—the respected tablature publisher of Alan’s Instructional Book and Video—helped the compilation to earn the IBMA’s Instrumental Album Of The Year in 2001. Alan also won for Recorded Event Of The Year in 2001, while his solo project In The Blue Room featuring a dazzling array of the music’s top names -- friends and admiring colleagues all -- as well as the smooth vocal style he brings to BlueRidge, met with critical acclaim and was voted #2 Instrumental Recording of The Year by County Sales. The Gibson Company has just introduced The Alan Bibey Signature Mandolin, reaffirming his status as one of the most influential mandolinist in acoustic music.
