ABOUT JOHN TIBBS: Hailing from the midwest, John Tibbs has built his success the old-school way: playing shows, writing great songs, and truly caring about those he meets along the way. Tibbs was catapulted into the music industry by a successful release with Noisetrade. Through that platform, he developed an online community of more than 100,000 supporters who helped crowd-fund his independent recordings, and it wasn’t long before he piqued the interest of major record labels. 

 

In 2016, John Tibbs released his debut full-length album, Dead Man Walking (Fair Trade Services), to great critical acclaim. Reviewers shared about the album, “with shades of Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp and Creedence Clearwater Revival, the heartland rock Tibbs traffics in is just right for the weightier, darker side of the redemption story.” Then in 2017 in partnership with Pledge Music and Tone Tree, Tibbs released the LP Heartland under his independent label Windmill and Wave. 

Prior to releasing Dead Man Walking, Tibbs was a worship leader at Madison Park Church near Indiana's Anderson University. As an independent artist, he amassed an online community of more than 100,000 fans who helped crowd-fund two breakout recordings—Swallowing Death, Breathing Life in 2012 as well as 2013’s Anchor—earning national notoriety on NoiseTrade. Tibbs has toured with such leading names as Newsboys, Crowder, Matt Maher, Tenth Avenue North, Unspoken, Gungor and Audrey Assad, among others.

 

John Tibbs currently resides in Nashville with his wife Emily and their dog, Lady. For further information, please visit johntibbsmusic.com.
