Where is jimmy Ibbotson now?

Answer 1

Jimmy Ibbotson left his position as lead singer/bassist/mandolin player with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 2004. He grew tired of the constant touring schedule with NGDB and made the decision to pursue projects instead. NGDB saw great success on the country charts during the 1980s, with numerous hits including Fishing In The Dark, Workin' Man (Nowhere to go), Oh What A Love, Long Hard Road and High Horse, all of which can be heard at Ibby's solo concerts. Half of the shows he plays are solo acoustic, while the others feature Ibby backed by a full band in an effort to re-create the recordings he did with NGDB and as a solo artist. During the 80s and 90s, Ibby amassed a sustainable fortune through investments, which has enabled him to fund fifteen studio recordings and launch his own record label, known as Unami Records.
