John Kribs

Ace guitarist John Kribs, familiar to area concertgoers for his affiliations with the Racquette River Rounders, Johnny and the Triumphs, and the McKrells, stepped into the spotlight in 2000 as a solo artist. His songs are rooted in folk and bluegrass but span spoken-word, up-tempo pop, and solo intimacy. An accomplished guitarist, John is equally at ease on mandolin and clawhammer banjo. His voice has been described by reviewers as "'clear," "smooth," "haunting" and "captivating."
