| Nashville independent recording artist Redding Brothers is an acoustically-driven alternative rock trio comprised of three brothers, Micah, Josiah and Gabriel Redding.
The band had its beginnings in early 2002 playing in local cafes and coffeeshops around their hometown of Charleston, WV. The band released their first recording, an EP entitled Roughdraft, which was entirely self-produced. The EP was an instant hit and has sold out multiple times since. After building a strong local following the Redding Brothers began touring Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania and eventually spread to the whole eastern United States.
In late 2004 the band relocated their headquarters to Nashville, TN and made an astonishing move by founding their own label, Brick & Stone Records, and simultaneously releasing their first single, Sneak Peek.
Redding Brothers has been described as a band for all other bands. Never being motivated to attain a major record deal or worldwide acclaim, but with the simple desire to control their own fates and do what they love the most, the Redding Brothers privately sponsor and promote Brick & Stone Showcases in local cities, helping promising smaller acts get a foothold and begin their own careers.
The band’s sound is a modern energetic groove deep-rooted in rock & roll tradition. The brothers grew up listening to acts like the Beatles, Buddy Holly, and the Rolling Stones, but they mix what they’ve gained from those sounds with the more modern sounds of Barenaked Ladies, Matchbox Twenty, Dave Matthews Band, and R.E.M.
Redding Brothers lyrics have been the topic of much debate and controversy, not because of any inappropriateness, but because of their obscure philosophical nature. Songs like “Die” and “Rosebud” are some examples of much-discussed lyrics.
In late 2005 the Redding Brothers debuted their first-ever full-length album, entitled Wisdom from the Green Shag Carpet, on their own brainchild record label Brick & Stone. Singles from the album are already in regular rotation on top college stations in the eastern region of the United States. On top of radio play, the Redding Brothers have also recently secured global CD distribution for their music, which is now available at all major retailers as well as online download sites like iTunes and Napster, something nearly unheard of in the world of independent music.
An exceptional live band, the Redding Brothers have tirelessly toured non-stop for almost 2 straight years, and have become a favorite show in cities all across the U.S.
Hailing from Scott Depot, West Virginia, Redding Brothers are Micah Redding, lead vocals and guitar; Josiah Redding, backup vocals and bass; and Gabriel Redding, backup vocals and drums. |
