The UUCB Concerts for a Cause series will present Lipbone Redding on Saturday at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick.
Storyteller, singer-songwriter, guitarist and voice-instrumentalist, Redding performs original songs inspired by New Orleans jazz, swing, soul and funk. His vocal imitations of trombones, trumpets, bass and percussion comes together into a show for all ages.
Redding has spent the last 20 years traveling the world collecting and recounting tales through music and performance art. Despite humble beginnings as a New York City subway singer, Lipbone has released eight albums and more than 20 live recordings and now performs in festivals, theaters and concert halls across America and Europe. He also teaches workshops and collaborates with other musicians, dancers, and performance artists.
A one-man orchestra with no electronic effects, his natural human sounds of throat singing, bass and beat-boxing, and his realistic lip-tromboning are distinctive. At a typical concert, the listener may experience everything from Himalayan style throat singing, catchy pop hooks, rapid-fire prose with groove accompaniment or pin-drop moments as a tale unfolds.
Ticket are $15 in advance and $18 at the door. The price is $8 for students and children. Tickets are available at the church office at (207) 729-8515, Gulf of Maine Books, or online at lipbone.brownpapertickets.com.
Proceeds from the Concerts for a Cause series raises money for church programming and local charities.
