Stirring Up the Melting Pot
Tuesday, March 6, 2007
RedLefty calls their music swingin’ blues, which is the short way of saying roots- folk- dixieland- bluegrass- country- klezmer- ragtime- hoedown- swing- blues music
The six members of RedLefty—Jeff Williams (guitar), Dan Rempel (guitar, vocals), Chris Millspaugh (harmonica, trumpet), Nate Craft (trombone, vocals), Sean McCue (upright bass) and Tennyson LeMaster (percussion)—initially came together with the intention of making a blues band. What resulted was a unique melding of vintage American styles and genres designed to set toes a-tapping and get bodies to swinging on the dance floor.
Street Level dodges a pack of medium-sized watchdogs to crash a RedLefty practice session and get the poop on head tunes, the sartorial imperative and the notion that evolution is always an improvement.
