Gibson Signature Artists offer Free Clinics
(Gibson | Posted 2005-04-09)
Gibson signature artists Alan Bibey and Sam Bush are presenting free mandolin clinics through Gibson’s OAI (Gibson’s Original Instrument division – mandolins, banjos and Dobros®) during April. The artists will offer free mandolin advice and tips as well as brief performances.
Sam Bush is one of the most influential mandolin players of the past quarter-century. As a founding member of the New Grass Revival, featured member of Emmylou Harris’ Nash Ramblers and now as leader of his own band, he’s taken the mandolin into rock, reggae and beyond. His Gibson signature model replicates “Hoss,” his infamous 1930s F-5.
Alan Bibey’s innovative work with IIIrd Time Out, BlueRidge and on his own solo albums has taken traditional bluegrass mandolin to a new artistic level. His signature Gibson model features the distinctive look of tortoiseshell binding and a dark sunburst finish.
