Son E. Gibs is a French-American musician who has lived in the southern states and shares his time between his two countries.

Music has accompanied every stage of his life since his childhood and he has grown up with history and culture of the south, blues, Rock and Southern way of life.

He performed with a few bands, in bars and local joints for a few bucks, and worked in studio with some of them, a journey from Clarksdale and Memphis to the Garage Studio in Chicago, always working hard music managing career and music as far as possible.

Several gigs and several songs from other people, even if the path was marked with surprising and wonderful meetings. 

Then came the decision to write his own songs, to tell his own stories.

The decision came as he walked alone on the old cotton line railroad in Clarksdale, thinking about all the gentle ghosts who haunted this town, fathers of Blues, Soul and Rock n’ roll, from Memphis to the Bayou. This LP is a humble homage to all those big hearted people and musicians.

For example Mississippi slow train, Black Hobo are songs about Clarksdale, about Robert Johnson and the Delta, Swamp Gator about his Alligator Elvis, in the Bayou…
Ground zero is an homage to the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale. 

The LP Ways to Clarksdale was proudly released in 2021 with a wonderful band and big sound engineer JB in Hesat Recordings.

A new EP is going on and will be on release in may 2022.

May the journey just be getting started for Son, and thank you to all who have helped him and supported him along the way. 

Keep it blue Y'all!!!

Son E. Gibs est un musicien et compositeur Franco Américain qui vit entre la France et les Etats Unis, en particulier les états du sud et Chicago.

La musique l’accompagne depuis l’enfance et il a grandi avec l’histoire, la culture, la vie dans le Sud, au son du blues et du southern rock. 

Il a joué pour de nombreux groupes, écumant les bars et les juke joints pour quelques dollars, a travaillé en studio, un véritable voyage de Clarksdale à Memphis, en passant par Chicago et Nashville, ainsi que par le “Garage Studio”, donnant tout pour sa passion tout en travaillant.

Après avoir joué pour les autres, et fait tant de belles rencontres, de Buddy Guy à Carl Weathersby de Junior Mack à John Riggins, il décide d’écrire ses propres morceaux. 

La décision lui est venue à Clarksdale, en marchant comme souvent sur la vieille voie ferrée hantée par les fantômes des pères du Blues, de la Soul et du Rock.
Ce LP est un hommage aux gens et musiciens du sud. 

Par exemple Mississippi slow train, Black Hobo sont des morceaux sur Clarksdale, sur Robert Johnson et le Delta, Swamp Gator sur son Alligator Elvis, dans le Bayou…
Ground zero fait référence au “Ground Zero Blues Club”, juke joint légendaire à Clarksdale. 

Le LP “Ways to Clarksdale” a été réalisé en 2021 avec un groupe formidable et l’ingénieur du son JB Calluaud à Hesat Recordings.

Un nouvel EP est en cours d’enregistrement et sortira en mai 2022.

Puisse ce voyage être un nouveau commencement pour Son et merci à tous ceux qui ont été présents à ses côtés tout au long du chemin.  

Keep it blue Y'all!!!

Helen Henderson hails from Southland, New Zealand. Helen started her musical career in London, and is now based in Los Angeles. Her first CD "The Sonora Sessions " was recorded in Los Angeles, and had excellent reviews. "Henderson matches her powerful backing with confident originals and a convincing mid American voice ..... but it's the folk demons of her Southland childhood that she returns to in "The Ballad of Minnie Dean." Nick Bollinger, The Listener. "She carries these songs on the strength of her songwriting which is right out of the Southern traditions.... a highly convincing introduction to someone we could happily hear more from." Graham Reid, The Herald. Her latest CD "Twisting Wind" was recorded at F.A.M.E.Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, fondly referred to as "the cradle of rock and roll." Powerful and raw, this album, captures a moment in time, and some tantalizing soul from a "Kiwi Siren." The CD features stunning new material played by some of the worlds finest international musicians. Doug Pettibone: Guitar,Pedal steel, ( Lucinda Williams, Jewel, Ray Lamontagne) David Hood: Bass Guitar, (Etta James, Aretha Franklin, John Hiatt, Duane Allman, Rod Stewart) Brian Owings: Drums ( Shelby Lynne,Tony Joe White, Buddy Miller,Ray La Montagne) Larry Byram: Guitar, Mandolin, Synth, ( Steppenwolf) Spooner Oldham: Keyboards, (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, JJ Cale, Linda Ronstadt, Jewel), Gia Ciambotti: Backing Vocals, (Bruce Springsteen, Joe Walsh).
