Leon Redbone
April 29, 2011 at 8pm
Recognized for his trademark white Panama hat, dark sunglasses and bow tie, Leon Redbone is a singer and guitarist who first appeared on stage in the mid-1970s. At the core of his initial calling was the desire to simply honor songs from the past – a waltz with bygone days that established him as sole curator of the museum of 20th century music. Over the course of his 30+ year, 15+ album career, Redbone has continued his love affair with tunes from the turn-of-the-century (as in the second-to-last century), flapper-era radio ditties, Depression-spawned ragtime and World War II folk-jazz. If there is one common element to Redbone's diverse music it's his mastery of his acoustic guitar. It is easy to get lost in his stage exploits (which often gravitate between vaudeville and performance art) and overlook what a truly fine player he is – finger picking with a ragtime bounce or jumping between chords with the grace of a hurdler.
