The 2026 Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Concert Series, presented by Redstone Federal Credit Union, continues on Thursday, March 19 with a performance by The Gibson Brothers. The concert will be held at Athens State University in McCandless Hall at 7:00 pm.
There’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. The same thing that led David Ferguson and Grammy Award winning producer and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach to co-write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” (2018) and release it on his own label Easy Eye Sound alongside cultural icons such as Hank Williams Jr. and Dr. John: the Gibson Brothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing. And they can write an excellent country song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on almost every premier Americana label you can think of, and, if that’s not enough, their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends. It’s a resume almost anybody in country music would be proud to have.
Tickets for the show are $15.00 for adults/$5.00 for children and can be purchased by visiting www.athensfiddlers.org.
