**** Inventive voicestrumentalist and Southern Gentleman, Lawrence "Lipbone" Redding, creates original songs that effervesce with New Orleans swing, Memphis grooves and New York City style. His entire act is interlaced with tantalizing riffs of vocal trumpeting (AKA THE LIP-BONE*), mouth percussion, hilarious side moments and esoteric lyrics. Witty, soulful, and sincere, this freespirit has caught fire in Manhattan's downtown scene and can be seen and heard regularly on Sunday nights at New York City's most swingingest martini bar, The Anyway Cafe' (2nd Ave @ 2nd St. 9pm).
Mr. Redding has performed to worldwide audiences including venues in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. He is a seemingly tireless performer who does more than 200 live shows per year. He has most recently performed at New York City’s Lincoln Center and his music has been featured on the new F/X televison series "Starved" which has been viewed by millions.
"Lipbone" has been accused of being a Soul singer, Folkie, Vocaltrickster, Bluesman and experimental Cowboy. He neither accepts these classifications nor denies them. The influences of his music are as far reaching as Disco, Beatboxing, Hindustani, Hip Hop, Punk, Country, 70's Soul and Sun Ra."
