Widely considered one of America’s most provocative and intriguing contemporary guitarists and musical explorers, Marc Ribot has released 25 albums under his own name over four decades, exploring everything from pioneering jazz to Cuban son. His solo release Silent Moviesis described as a “down-in-mouth-near masterpiece” by the Village Voice. Ribot helped Tom Waits refine a “new, weird Americana” on 1985’s Rain Dogs. Since then he’s become the go-to guitar guy for all kinds of roots-music adventurers: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Elton John/Leon Russell, Solomon Burke, Allen Toussaint, Allen Ginsburg, Nora Jones, The Black Keys, and many others. Ribot works regularly with producer T Bone Burnett and composer John Zorn. He has composed and performed on numerous film scores such as Walk The Line and Scorcese’s The Departed.
2018 saw the release of YRU Still Here?,the long-awaited third album from Ribot’s post-rock/noise trio, Ceramic Dog, and Songs of Resistance 1942-2018 (featuring guest vocalists Tom Waits, Steve Earle, and Meshell Ndegeocello). Both are politically charged albums deftly exploring these turbulent times that landed on various Best Of lists, including NPR’s All Songs Considered. 2021 saw the release of Ceramic Dog’s HOPE, recorded during the pandemic. Ribot’s first collection of writings, Unstrung: Rants & Stories of a Noise Guitarist, was recently published by Akashic Books.
