Gibb Family Honors Their Legacy With Bee Gees Tribute Album
Sparked by Samantha and Lazaro creating one Bee Gees cover on their own, they realized the musical potential and that it was time to do something more. Samantha reached out to her brother, aunt, and cousins and very quickly they all agreed to take part. "Everyone wanted to be involved. We are all true fans of their music and there is a connection for us, family," says Samantha.
Quick Summary
The children of the Gibb brothers, led by Samantha Gibb and producer Lazaro Rodriguez, are set to release an album in Spring 2017 featuring new interpretations of classic Bee Gees songs. This project, uniting family members from all four brothers—Andy, Barry, Robin, and Maurice—showcases their musical talent and deep connection to their fathers' legacy. Samantha expresses excitement about this collaborative endeavor, promising a unique and heartfelt tribute to the iconic music.
Each family member created unique and personal versions of songs from the brothers' amazing catalog of music. This labor of love brings a fresh flavor to the music and showcases the sheer talent across this incredible family. One track, in particular, will send chills down your spine as you hear the four eldest children from each brother, harmonizing together, reminiscent of the sound that brought their fathers to prominence decades before.
"We are very excited to share this collection of songs with everyone, especially long time fans of our fathers’ music," says Samantha Gibb. "This has been an amazing experience with the whole family working together to create something really special."
The album is scheduled for a Spring 2017 release. More details to come soon including track listings and full credits.
