Lipbone Redding: Back by popular demand!
Nationally-known beloved one-man orchestra/singer/musician/storyteller!
Limited seating--advanced tickets will go fast! Buy $13 tickets
Lawrence "Lipbone" Redding is an American songwriter, guitarist, singer, composer, performance artist, and voicestrumentalist. He is most noted for his ability to vocally imitate trombones, bass and percussion and incorporate them into live musical performances. In addition, Redding also uses throat singing, which is one of the oldest forms of music found in a variety of cultures.
His shows are all about the stories. The songs become woven into a dynamic tapestry of storytelling and spoken word. The music, like a magic carpet ride, invites the traveler aboard.
Lipbone’s unique talent and life have allowed him access to some amazing experiences, from subway musician to court jester of the elite. Allow him to regale you with entertaining insight and a dancing good time, as only this one-man orchestra can proffer. Lipbone embodies a cosmic dance as he plays, sings, taps, and makes realistic instrument sounds with nothing more than his lips. It is truly an evening worthy of your attendance.

Experience the magic of storytelling and live performance in our charming former mill village. Each month, top storytellers, singer/songwriters, and other performers share their craft within the historic walls of the Bynum General Store. Enjoy intimate one-of-a-kind experiences in a unique venue!
