Though currently based out of San Francisco, California, Gibbons spent 2010 in Thailand recording his most recent release “Marigolds: The Bangkok Sessions”. He returned to the US late in 2010 and has since spent the early part of 2011 touring across the country in support of the new album, which was officially released on April 12th.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGibbons has three full length releases under his belt. He has shared the stage with many established acts in the singer/songwriter circuit, including Katie Herzig, Gregory Alan Isakov, Eric Hutchinson, Robert Francis, and Sharon Little. Though remaining indie, his songs have received airplay on several AAA radio stations, most notably on San Francisco's world famous KFOG FM. He has performed around the country at notable venues Hotel Cafe (Los Angeles), The Living Room (New York), and the Great American Music Hall (San Francisco).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePress--\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In addition to 11 standout self-penned tunes, Gibbons offers up an emotion-charged cover of Tracy Chapman's \"Talkin Bout a Revolution\" which manages to eclipse the excellent original. The high point of \"Marigolds\", however, is \"Cobras in the Bushes\", a song so intense it gives me chills every time I hear it. Excellent album from a really talented artist.\" Jeffery Sisk, The Daily News\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Sometimes the lyrical content of an album resonates so deeply that it remains on replay for the next three months. Mike Gibbons has accomplished creating such an album with Marigolds: The Bangkok Sessions, a beautiful collection that combines poetic storytelling with a mellow rock sound.\" Sal Christ, UCD Advocate\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo learn more, please visit www.mikegibbons.net\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Mike+Gibbons","playStationPath":"/stations/291633815/play","stationId":291633815,"bioPath":"/music/Mike+Gibbons/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Jack+Johnson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/493/493393ab95f3db5d5b58a4566e584e01_md.jpg","artistName":"Jack Johnson","artistId":868,"station_id":113261852},{"musicPath":"/music/Mumford+Sons","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/333/333b136b332ae7d83d482859db555200_md.jpg","artistName":"Mumford \u0026 Sons","artistId":51187,"station_id":229614551},{"musicPath":"/music/Ben+Howard","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/472/472c4e0c80dbac5df925e5fded9aceed_md.jpg","artistName":"Ben Howard","artistId":98808,"station_id":277091759},{"musicPath":"/music/Ray+LaMontagne","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/519/519243ba87f8f5c0b03f4bd2c61024c1_md.jpg","artistName":"Ray LaMontagne","artistId":10962,"station_id":113270096},{"musicPath":"/music/Adele","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/768/7681c099e7010e480399460560a9a553_md.jpg","artistName":"Adele","artistId":11342,"station_id":113267269}]}
