Current revision
Steve Tibbetts is a Minneapolis-based American guitarist known for an original approach to both composing and sound-forming. He was born in Madison, Wisconsin in 1954. He utilizes both acoustic and electric guitar. His musical compositions span several genres and styles, perhaps most notably jazz, rock, fusion and world music, and often more than one genre or style in one composition. He released five albums in the 1980s, three in the 1990s, and, as of this writing, two in the 2000s. He has also collaborated with other artists including Norwegian hardingfele player Knut Hamre and Tibetan nun Choying Drolma. Steve's longtime collaborator, percussionist Marc Anderson, has appeared on all the recordings in the discography except the inaugural "Steve Tibbetts" album.
Steve Tibbetts makes liberal use of loops in his work, and a collection of those loops and sound textures can be purchased on a CD-Rom.
