one of the most creative and technically gifted mandolin players in bluegrass and acoustic
music. A stylist who turned heads as an original member of The New Quicksilver, IIIrd Tyme
Out, BlueRidge and now Grasstowne his tasteful innovations and pristine execution earned him
inclusion in The Young Mando Monsters project, Mel Bay’s Mandolin book “The Greatest
Mandolin Players Of The Twentieth Century” as well as The Bluegrass All-Stars Sugar Hill
Records project. Alan has been awarded “Mandolin Performer of the Year” for 2007, 2009 and
2010. His contributions to The Acutab Sessions: Knee Deep In Bluegrass helped the compilation

BlueRidge project “Side By Side”. Last but not least, in early 2004 the Gibson Company put into
production the Alan Bibey Signature Series line of mandolins, reaffirming his status as one of
