The Gibson Brothers

A message from Stoughton Opera House:

Well...it's hard to come up with a good way to communicate this, so we'll just come out and say it - due to the ongoing global pandemic all scheduled Opera House performances for 2020 have been postponed to the Spring of 2021.

As many of you know, the Opera House has found success these last years through the tireless work of a very small staff, many volunteers, and some of the kindest most devoted patrons imaginable. We know how lucky we are to have you and we've pushed ourselves harder and harder each season to earn the support you've given. Maybe that's why - even in the face of a global pandemic - we feel we've let you down.

The good news is we're going to keep on going and try to push through this thing. We'll be ready with an even better Opera House experience (no we aren't replacing the chairs) when it's safe to have shows again.  As I'm sure some of you have experienced at home or at work, it isn't easy to keep working hard at getting nowhere. Our staff has been reduced to two, so we're going to have our hands full.

There is a list of the postponed shows further down. Many of the shows listed have confirmed new dates, but some are still tentative. Be assured that all of the artists are scheduling new dates, so more info soon. The exciting part is that we will be announcing a bunch of new shows for the Spring of 2021 this Labor Day (some really good ones) and putting the whole bunch back on-sale to our members on Monday, October 12! The general public on-sale will be on Monday, October 26.

Becoming a member or holding onto your tickets for the postponed shows are the best things you can do right now to help keep us going. Become a member HERE. For questions, please reach us at: boxoffice@stoughtonoperahouse.com.

press release: "Bluegrass superstars" (New York Times), the Gibson Brothers, will be bringing songs from their brand new release In The Ground on tour this spring with stops across the east coast and Colorado.

With accolades including the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year; Song of the Year; Songwriter of the Year and Album of the Year—in some cases multiple times—the Gibson Brothers truly need no introduction in the worlds of bluegrass and acoustic music, there are still some who are not yet familiar with their music. For them, In The Ground is the perfect record—just as it is for long-time Gibson Brothers fans, too. 

The Gibson Brothers’ brand of roots music is a visceral mix of heritage and soaring harmony, making them the premiere brother duet of the genre, following in the footsteps of legendary brother acts such as the Stanley Brothers, Jim & Jesse, and the Osborne Brothers. Their first-ever album of entirely original songs, In the Ground sees the Gibson Brothers taking on their own roots as the sixth generation of Gibsons to grow up on their family farm. They follow up their stellar, 5-times nominated tribute to brother harmonies, Brotherhood, with this latest effort, which digs even deeper into their commitment to family and their history. The themes come from the farm, their childhood, and the region in which they were raised. One can hear their dedication to the songs, from the lighthearted to the profound; in the modernity of the lyrics, matched with a virtuosity that feels somehow both traditional and revelatory. Featuring celebrated, award-winning Dobro player Rob Ickes, In the Ground reaches into new territory for the Gibson Brothers as they reflect on their past. 

The Gibson Brothers will be touring with their longtime band featuring Mike Barber (bass), Jesse Brock (mandolin), and Clayton Campbell (fiddle).
