Now performing as Redd Welsh, he sings a dozen mostly original songs on the album, backed by some fine musicians including Joe Goldmark on pedal steel guitar; Pete Elman on keyboards and bass; John Blakeley on Stratocaster, Telecaster and acoustic guitars; Lachelle Oats on vocals; Paul Hlebcar on harmonica; and Kelly Ralston on congas and percussion.
The party gets under way at 7:00 p.m. Saturday Sept. 22 in the friendly Fellowship Hall of the Berkeley Unitarians, 1924 Cedar St. at Bonita, in Berkeley – which by the way has a great piano. The Hall is only a six-tenths of a mile walk up Cedar from North Berkeley BART.
Special guest appearances at the party by Jon Fromer, Harriet and Alex Bagwell, Hali Hammer and Barbara Dane.
Don’t miss this festive musical gathering of old and new friends.
