Barry Gibb 'In The Now' Album Release Date

Columbia Records has announced Barry Gibb's first solo album, In The Now, will release in October.

The surviving member of one of music's most successful and revered bands, the Bee Gees, (formed with his brothers Robin and Maurice), Gibb has kept In The Now a family affair, writing all the songs with his sons Stephen and Ashley.

Gibb and his band will also be opening the doors to the Hit Factory Criteria studio in Miami, Florida, for one day only - August 20 - to celebrate the pre-order of In The Now and perform never-before-heard material from the forthcoming album as well as classic Bee Gees songs.

Produced by Gibb and co-producer John Merchant, In The Now is only the second solo effort of Gibb's career and his first album of all new material since the Bee Gees final studio album in 2001.

The 12-track album was recorded in Miami with the same gathering of accomplished musicians Gibb assembled for his acclaimed 2014 solo tour.

Between Robin, Maurice and Andy, the Gibb brothers achieved 19 number one records on the Billboard charts including a phenomenal 6 in a row, equaling The Beatles record.

"I will never forget my brothers; they will always be a part of everything I do. Our dream came true," said Gibb.

Gibb returned to live performing in 2013-2014 with the Mythology Tour, celebrating the Bee Gees anthology release of the same name as a tribute to his three brothers. The acclaimed tour included shows in Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, and The U.S., garnering an outpouring of affection and critical praise from around the world.

In The Now is available for pre-order and fans of Gibb can expect the project to release on October 7.
