Artist Biography
by Mark DemingA strikingly gifted guitarist whose repertoire runs the gamut from traditionalist roots music to jagged free improvisation, with stylistic fearlessness and passion the principal unifying factors, Marc Ribot has enjoyed a successful career as an in-demand sideman as well as leading numerous recording and performing projects of his own. After making his way into New York's downtown experimental music community in the late '70s, Ribot first gained serious attention for his work with John Lurie's "fake jazz" combo the Lounge Lizards and various projects with adventurous composer John Zorn while also performing with R&B acts. He began a longstanding association with Tom Waits in 1985, playing on his album Rain Dogs, and has also collaborated frequently with Elvis Costello (starting with 1989's Spike) and producer T-Bone Burnett. Ribot has also led projects that find him exploring jazz (the Young Philadelphians), Cuban music (Marc Ribot y los Cubanos Postizos), and experimental rock (Ceramic Dog) as well as recording solo releases, including his 2018 collection of historical protest music, Songs of Resistance 1948-2018.
