"The mysterious vaudeville man returns!"
No one knows where he came from or who he really is. Leon Redbone wears dark glasses and a Panama hat, and, despite that fact that he's achieved icon status, maintains an air of mystery. (Some say Frank Zappa never really died ...) But when it comes to Redbone's music, there's no mystery at all. In the raspy but strangely intoxicating voice and the calmly bemused attitude of Leon Redbone, the music of the Victrola era becomes modern and timeless.
"...so authentic you can hear the surface noise of an old 78 rpm."
Rolling Stone Magazine
"His long-slung, blurry baritone recalls an older, simpler world of music - from 1899 to 1935."
The Chicago Sun Times
An evening of unforgettable blues, jazz and Tin Pan Alley classics makes Leon Redbone the perfect performer for the Historic Orpheum Theater.
