Traveling the world, making friends and music, Lipbone is a one-man orchestra and award-winning collaborator, who makes stories into songs, and songs into birds. In his early days, he left his home in North Carolina to live in New York City, where he busked nightly for three years in Subways. Those early experiences have led to many adventures and accolades. He is currently an artist-in-residence at Oak Grove Retreat, in Tarboro, North Carolina. His style is groove-inspired, unique, and heartfelt, paying tribute to influences from around the globe, Lipbone is uncompromisingly true to his own voice and music.

From New York’s subway to stages around the world, Lipbone Redding’s music stretches like a string that’s never-ending… his approach dips into jazz and blues with a New Orleans touch, swaths of Latin America tango with occasional dollops of Asian flair and American funk. Like an international rainbow, Redding’s style reaches out to touch many a someone. —Herald Courier
