Leon Bibb is a folk singer and actor who grew up in Kentucky, worked in New York, and has lived in Vancouver, BC since 1969. During the late-1950s and early-1960s Bibb was one of a number of American entertainers, such as his good friend Paul Robeson, who were blacklisted for alleged ties to left-wing groups and causes. Despite that setback, Bibb continued to perform and around 1963 or '64 he was featured singing on the national TV show, "Hootenanny." His a cappella vocals blends his classical, spiritual and blues influences. He is the father of the London based acoustic blues singer/songwriter Eric Bibb.
