Toby Gibson hails from Sneedville, Tennessee, where he learned picking and singing in his grandparent’s living room. Various local bluegrass musicians joined Toby’s grandfather and young Toby quickly learned to love music from its very roots of Bluegrass, county, soul and honky tonk. These influences are strong in his solo album, “Dirt Road.” Toby’s music, both his playing and writing is greatly defined by some of his musical heroes, Scott Miller, Bob Dylan, and Tyler Childers. If you listen closely you may hear a riff or a line that links his music with theirs.
