Alan Bibey & Friends

Since first hitting the scene in the early 1980s, Alan has made a name for himself as one of the most creative and technically gifted mandolinists in bluegrass and acoustic music. He was an original member of the ground breaking bands; The New Quicksilver, IIIrd Tyme Out, BlueRidge and for the last eight years the band Alan Bibey & Grasstowne. Alan won the SPBGMA Mandolin Performer Of The Year award for 2007, 2009 and 2010. He won the IBMA Instrumental Album of the Year in 2001, Album of the Year in 2006, Recorded Event in 2012 and SPBGMA Album of the Year in 2008. His solo project In The Blue Room was voted Top Instrumental Album by County Record Sales. The 2004 BlueRidge project for which he wrote the title track, was nominated for a Grammy. He was included in the Mel Bay book Greatest Mandolin Players of the Twentieth Century. In early 2004 the Gibson Company put into production the Alan Bibey Signature line of mandolins, reaffirming his status as one of the most influential mandolin players in bluegrass and acoustic music history. Some of his most recent accolades include numerous #1 albums and songs, including his writing and performance on the latest Alan Bibey & Grasstowne singles, Cold Dark Ground and This Old Guitar and Me. His project with Wayne Benson, called the Mandolin Chronicles, was nominated last year for five IBMA awards. Alan currently plays with his band Alan Bibey & Grasstowne, with their latest CD Alan Bibey & Grasstowne 4, yielding three #1s and all 12 songs from the project charting on Bluegrass Todays Airplay Chart.
