REDDS AND THE BOYS
MUSIC
Redds was once a member of Rare Essence in their early days before going solo with his group Redds and the Boyz. He was the Funkiest guitarist I had ever heard .I believe this was actually around 1982 at the Atlas Theatre on H st NE. D.C. It’s Redds on guitar and vocals, Shack on trumpet and vocals(who created the phrase “When you walk in the door and you come to Go-Go… ya say what? Hello! Hello! Hello!) Kevin Miller ‘KO’ on Sax, Lonell Tabs on Trumpet, CJ (Redds cousin) on Sax, Vincent Tabbs on Bass guitar, Leon Thurston on Fender Rhodes keys, Artie Cambell on String synth, Danny Peete on Congos and myself, Dwayne Lee on drums.
