Lipbone Redding

Lipbone Redding is a singer, songwriter, storyteller, and guitarist, but the uniquely talented musician is best known as a "voicestrumentalist" with an incredible improvisational style. By blending New Orleans swing, Memphis grooves, and New York City style with uncanny riffs of vocal tromboning, trumpeting, and booming mouth percussion, Redding has created a unique beat box-style sound that accents each jazz tune, blues ballad, and soul standard.

The North Carolina native moved to New York City by way of South America, India, Europe, and points beyond. His worldwide musical journey began after working solo at Manhattan's subterranean stages as a Subway Artist, where after three years he had made enough money to embark on a global trek that took him and his guitar to South America, back to the States, then to India and the high Himalayas to study Eastern philosophy and Indian Classical and Karnatic music before moving on to Europe where he hitchhiked his way from mountaintops to festivals to music clubs. Two years later Redding returned to New York City steeped in the rhythms and sounds of the music and poetry of his unique experiences which gave him the inspiration for two albums, Hop the Fence and his latest, Party on the Fire Escape. With this success, Redding now has a non-stop touring schedule with fellow band members, drummer Rich Zukor and bassist Jeff Eyrich.
