Mom's Disco and Soul records, Dad's Waylon and Willie, India, South America, countless hours of playing music in the subways and listening to people talk about themselves.
Inventive voicestrumentalist and Southern Gentleman, Lipbone Redding, creates original songs that effervesce with New Orleans swing, Memphis grooves and New York City style. Though his songs stand alone, his entire show is greased with uncanny riffs of vocal trumpeting (AKA THE LIP-BONE*), booming 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 Jules Jazz Bistro, Sunday Brunch from Noon til 3pm. @ 65 St Marks (Between 1st and 2nd Aves.) http://www.julesbistro.com
Lipbone 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 Citys Lincoln Center and his music has been featured on the new F/X televison series "Starved" which has been viewed by millions.
Lipbone Redding 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.
