Otis Gibbs (b. Feb 1966) is an American alt-country singer-songwriter and podcaster who has independently released several albums since 2002.

Gibbs was raised in Wanamaker, Indiana, a neighborhood on the outskirts of Indianapolis. He recalls being introduced to the music industry at an early age, when a friend of his aunt's that was supposed to be babysitting him would take him to a nearby saloon to earn money by singing while he played the piano.

Gibbs worked for over 10 years as a tree planter in Indiana, planting what he estimates to be over 7,000 trees.

Gibbs' songs feature stories about every day life. He has been compared to Woody Guthrie, Tom T. Hall, Kris Kristofferson, and Townes Van Zandt.
