About LEON REDBONE
Redbone’s career has spanned over four decades and began with his
earliest performances on the folk festival and club circuit. His
numerous appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and Saturday Night Live
and other outlets catalyzed his rise to international recognition. Over
the ensuing years he has appeared throughout North America, Europe,
Australia and Japan and released thirteen albums of his unique music, a
panoply of early music styles that he delivered with his singular
laconic idiosyncratic style.A true champion of early American
ragtime, blues and jazz, Leon Redbone has spent a lifetime preserving
that musical tradition while exposing successive generations to a rich
musical heritage of which they might not otherwise have become aware.
