It’s a human voice. Former subway musician Lipbone Redding makes lots of sounds with only his lips. He not only imitates a trombone, he's an accomplished soloist, songwriter, guitarist and entertainer. He's the jazz, blues, jam, and soul version of a human beat-box .. make that a "Human Sweet Box." Lipbone creates original songs that effervesce with New Orleans swing, Memphis grooves, and New York City style. Storyteller, songwriter, guitarist and "voice-stramentalist" Lipbone Redding has spent the last 25 years traveling the world collecting and recounting exotic tales through music and performance art. With humble beginnings as a New York City subway singer, Lipbone now performs in festivals, theaters and concert halls across America and Europe. Lipbone comes to Michigan with a new album, "Return of the Beautiful."
