Bio / Background
Balancing writing and performing is easy for Gibson, whose live shows draw a steady stream of fans including some who travel miles to see show after show.
"The writing is sincere, and that makes it easy to perform," she says. "Likewise, the fact that I go out and perform these songs and have to look people in the eye keeps the writing sincere. It's one of the more beautiful vicious circles that I know."
Gibson, born in Fridley, Minn., grew up in Amarillo, Texas. She sang in church and school choirs for 15 years until she performed Suzanne Vega's "Gypsy" in the Amarillo High School talent show. Hooked on the response, she learned Vegas' entire catalog and those of the Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman and Shawn Colvin and began writing her own songs.
