Leon Redbone at Eddie's Attic

The careers of performers who reside in the limelight are usually short-lived and over-overexposed. So it’s refreshing to encounter LEON REDBONE, who has for decades remained so musically resonant and personally elusive. Though his iconic guise of white fedora, jacket and sunglasses has been thoroughly satirized (anybody remember the “Leon Redbone workout” Far Side cartoon?), it’s easy to overlook what a genuinely gifted artist he remains – a role he inevitably tries to downplay.
