Established in 2012 and produced by Paul Willemsen of Lefties Soul Connection, Beans & Fatback and Michelle David, their début EP, Cleaned Out, was released in 2014.
The sound of The Tibbs is a healthy diet of sixties R&B, funk, jazz, pop and a bit of ska, harking back to the Detroit and Philly sounds of the 1960s and '70s.
