Jesse Redman - Lead Guitar - Vocals

Jesse Redman started playing guitar at age 14 and within three months of starting guitar, he was playing paying gigs.

He played in bands, duos, trios and as a single musician throughout the Texas Panhandle, Western Oklahoma, Southern Kansas and the Colorado and New Mexico ski resorts.

Jesse arrived on the Dallas music scene at the age of 21. He was already an accomplished guitar player and vocalist having played many gigs and well on his way to developing a unique style with both his guitar playing and his vocals. Jesse played in several bands along the way, including playing lead guitar in a group comprised of several former members of the Johnny Winter Band.

In Dallas, he played in several different groups and as a single musician, garnering the following of many fans and music venues. He was a regular at Dallas’ most popular Rock And Roll showcases.

Later moving to Austin, he continued to progress his own style which has been described by the Dallas Times Herald as "The Beatles Meet Jimi Hendrix". His music includes a unique blend of harmonies and guitar solos that pleases audiences of all ages and takes everyone back to the days of concert Rock And Roll.

Jesse plays classic Rock and Roll, with his rendition of hits from such groups as:
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Box Tops, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeplin, Jim Croce, War, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Loggins & Messina, Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Moody Blues, The Eagles, Doors, Phil Collins, and many others.

Jesse’s music is classic rock from the 60's through the 70's with a few newer songs and a few originals. He "musically owns" every song he does so each song is his unique version of the original. He plays quite a few songs that may only be heard in concert and that other groups don't play because the vocals are difficult to do. Songs like "Another Brick In The Wall" by Pink Floyd or “Cost of Freedom/Ohio”, by CSN&Y or “Lady Madonna”, by the Beatles.

Jesse consistently brings patrons back to hear him play again and again. And because his music is very listenable, people tend to stay longer and enjoy several of his musical sets. He makes new fans every time and everywhere he plays.
