Otis Gibbs (USA)

Otis Gibbs is a songwriter, storyteller, painter, photographer, and planter of 7,176 trees. He once wrestled a bear and lost. He’s been called “the best unknown songwriter in music today,” but if you ask him, he’ll just say he’s a folksinger.

The Trust Of Crows, his tenth studio album, was recorded at the iconic Columbia Studio A in Nashville, where Bob Dylan made Blonde on Blonde and Nashville Skyline. It’s been closed to the public for decades, but Otis was given permission to record there.

Gibbs’ storytelling extends beyond music to his YouTube channel, where more than 100,000 subscribers listen to tales and folklore passed down by legendary musicians. In an effort to preserve these personal stories before they’re lost to history, he single handedly built a living archive in the spirit of The Lomax Family, Studs Terkel or even Charles Kuralt. This deeply personal project reflects Otis’ reverence for history, lived experience, and the characters who shaped American roots music from the ground up.

Otis and his partner, Amy Lashley have pent the last 20 years in their tiny home on top of a hill in East Nashville surrounded by artists, weirdos, radicals and as many animals as possible.

“Gibbs has been likened to everyone from Guthrie to Springsteen — but his is the rare voice that stands on its own.”-Esquire
