Heather Redman & The Reputation
An ace co-vocalist gets her own band together to become queen of SW OH Garage Soul!
Heather Redman isn’t new to the southern Ohio music scene and has long been respected for her frequent role as a side woman, co-vocalist, co-front person, guitarist, and percussionist. In fact, you could say that over the years she’s developed one hell of a reputation. That reputation has at last manifest in band Redman fronts with the support of some of the region’s heaviest hitters as well as a fantastic, highly anticipated, and well-deserved “Heather record”.
It’s a fresh and familiar sound that mines the depths of 60s and 70s soul and garage rock, but delivers a new energy fed by Redman and Co.’s lineage in Midwestern indie rock. For all the retro vibes and bonafide soul chops, there is matching angular edge and willingness to experiment that makes this album and band resonate as something incredibly special. It’s genuinely creative, emotionally raw, and masterfully executed.
