CONCEPT 1986 Leon Redbone The man the myth the legend An eccentric figure shrouded in mystery Dressed in his trademark white linen suit panama hat and sunglasses Mr Redbone keeps the public guessing Performing his unique blend of old blues ragtime Tin Pan Alley ditties corny love songs and any other style that comes to his rather unique mind Mr Redbone is a strange and elusive talent He draws inspiration from sources such as Jimmy Rodgers Hank Williams Blind Blake Jellyroll Morton and Portugese blues Yet his roots remain cloaked in mystery as he wishes them to be Mr Redbones idiosyncratic talent was exposed to a wide range of people during his appearance on Saturday Night Live The reaction to this strangely garbed man curled over his guitar with a humorous tight- lipped smile on his face was spectacular His first album promptly sold over a quarter of a million copies Mr Redbone has appeared on a series of highly successful Budweiser commercials On his albums he has employed such diverse talents as Yusef LateefThe Roches Dr John David Bromberg and Hank Williams Jr Not many performers can keep an audience entranced with a mixture of old time tunes cool demeanor and silly almost pointless gestures Yet Mr Redbone manages to pack em in at concerts all over the country Leon Redbone will be the headline performer at this year Mayfair concert
