Influences
My influences are probably the same as most Texas Musicians.
The Highway Men of course(Cash, Willie, Waylon, Kristofferson), Dylan
Asleep at the Wheel, Two Tons of Steel, Ray Price, Townes Van Zandt, Hendricks, SRV, Todd Snider, Hayes Carll, John Evans, The Flatlanders, The Grateful Dead, John Prine, Jon Hiatt, Skynard, Zepplin, Hank(I, II, III), Kevin Welch, Van Morrison, The Doors, Monte Montgomery, Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats, Sam Bush, BR-549, Merle Haggard, Big John Mills, Walt Wilkins, Mike Blakely, the list goes on and is quite diverse.
To tell the truth, nearly every artist I've come across has had some effect on my music, for good or ill.
Sounds Like
Think a cross between Lyle Lovett and Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats with a touch of Van Morrison thrown in for good luck. My style is very fluid and I think that is why people enjoy it. There is a good mix of swing and blues combined with folk songwriting. Whatever it is, it seems to work for me.
I am based out of Ft Worth, Texas, but I am playing all over Texas. I have two albums out and am in the process of writing a third one. I perform acoustically much of the time, but I do play Telecaster for bands when the chance presents itself. I have been fortunate to play with several different bands throughtout Texas, including Bodie Powell and the Borderline, Jay Sims, Kim Carson, Jordan Mycoskie and the Fire Breathin Fish, Casey Thompson, as well as my own band. I hope you enjoy what you hear, and if you do, look me up sometime down the road. Kyle Redd
Hey bud, it was good talking w/you the other day! I'll be looking for the new cuts to be posted, hope the live recording turns out to be as good as you are live! Good luck!
Dude, you need to be playing a gig down in Fredericksburg on the weekend of June 27/28. I'll be over that way then and I need some good music while I'm in town.
