Innes Sibun

Life and career Innes Sibun was born in Bath, Somerset, England.

In 2004, Sibun assembled a new band who played at a number of venues and music festivals before recording Farmhouse Blues (2005). This was followed by Tail Dragger, released by ZYX Music in 2007. His most successful recording to date, Tail Dragger peaked at number 6 in the German blues chart. The following year, shows in Europe included supporting Johnny Winter, Taj Mahal, Steve Cropper and Al Kooper, then an appearance at Bluesfest Windsor in Ontario, Canada. In 2010, Sibun changed pace, self-releasing his acoustic recording, Snake Wine.

Lost in the Wilderness (2013), was recorded in England with Steve Hall (bass guitar), Kevin O’Rourke (drums), and Jon Buckett (keyboards) complementing Sibun's vocals, guitar and production work. The only cover version on Lost in the Wilderness was of Otis Rush's 1958 track, "Double Trouble."

Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass both had a jazz based influence on Sibun, and he used this to effect on Sari Schorr's 2016 album, A Force Of Nature.

In 2019, Sibun teamed up with the Detroit based vocalist Marcus Malone, to create Malone Sibun. Their debut album, Come Together, was released in January 2020.
