Well, I'm back and trying to blog again.

I have never seen such an engaging performer as Lipbone Redding. From the first note to the last drum roll he kept the audience in his living room with his incredibly personable charm and vitality. I would go to see him again and again. "Lipbone" is the name of his lip trombone sound. Without any devices or props he can make the perfect fascimile of a trombone sound with his lips. It really was something to see (and hear).

The band was tight and expressive and his songs were happy, rollicking and good humored. I highly recommend checking our Lipbone online or in person. You will not regret it.

The next concert is Lindsay Mac. From what I can gather she plays the cello like a guitar, strapped to her shoulders and plucked with her fingers. There is a great little youtube segment on her playing "Blackbird." I'm looking forward to more great music nad good wine next week, February 13th at 8pm at the Lewis County Historical Society in Lowville NY.
