Make that a "Human Sweet Box." Visit Lipbone Redding website.

Divas of Blues feat. Sheryl Renee - Refers to herself as a vocalist, but to call her a balladeer, songstress, storyteller of the great standards, would also be correct. Solid swinging skills, intermixed with "scat" singing as well as her ability to caress a ballad. with her strong rapport for lyrics, Sheryl and her trio will tastefully add to the ambiance of your event, or function.
Todd Tijerina - Infusing funk, rock and jazz elements into his blues stylings, Todd has always striven to be unique as a songwriter and guitarist.
