 About Ibby
Ibby is a
folk-rock singer and songwriter and professional musician originally
from Southern California who calls the mountains West of Denver and
South of Boulder home. She was given the Beatles’ Rubber Soul
and Revolver LPs when she was nine – and as it was for millions
of others, there was no turning back after that. She taught herself
how to play guitar and sing at the age of twelve to Beatles
songbooks, and wrote her first song in college at nineteen.
While Ibby's
musical sensibility took root and found a home in loving and
listening to the Fab Four, her musical tastes branched out from there
and today include a broad tapestry of styles and genres - from rock
and roll to folk, from country rock to funk, and from blues to
bluegrass. The breadth of this tapestry is reflected in the artists
who have influenced her songwriting and her life: Crosby Stills
Nash & Young, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Kinks, Todd Rundgren,
Heart, Yes, Aerosmith, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Elvis Costello, Sheryl
Crow, Alanis Morissette, and Joni Mitchell, just to name a few.
She has been
playing and performing her songs and those of her favorite artists
for many years. Some have described Ibby’s sound as folk
rock & roll with the occasional edge; though it may defy simple
categorization (like most good music), her sound is uniquely her own.
Ibby counts
many well-known artists and the occasional musical celebrity among
her musician friends and collaborators. She has performed at many
venues in the greater Denver area, at the Fox Theatre and Conor
O’Neill’s in Boulder, and in Durango, Colorado. She has
also performed in Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming; Lexington, Kentucky;
Nashville, Tennessee; San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, and San
Francisco, California.
She plays
regularly in Boulder and Denver, and is recording tracks for her
debut CD near Boulder and in Los Angeles with producer/engineers Phil
Crumrine (Colorado) and Sebastian Haimerl (Groovemasters, Malibu
Sound, Los Angeles) for the CD she is recording this fall for
subsequent release.
