WHO IS TOMMY REDD??? That's a strange question for those of us from the South....any self respecting club circuit, baby booming, maniac knows who Nantucket and Tommy Redd are...any way...for the rest of you...Tommy Redd gained fame as the song writer/guitarist for the band Nantucket. First signed to Epic Records in 1978, Tommy wrote all songs for the first two albums (their most successful) and most tunes on the next six albums. Nantucket toured with Kiss, AC/DC, Styx, Journey, Bob Seger, Mother's Finest and many many others. And by the way...Tommy Redd is still amazingly active and continues to play. Tommy wrote killer hits for Nantucket...."Is It Wrong To Rock and Roll?" "Heartbreaker" "Born In A Honky Tonk" and many more.
In the summer of 2008, Frank Morrow got on stage with a group of musicians jamming together at The Last Resort in Smithfield, NC. He sang some Hank Jr. songs and the crowd seemed to love it! Frank, (with an uncanny resemblance to the real Hank Jr.) had been singing on stage now and then with Boogie Chillins and the Bill Lyerly Band wailing out some Hank Jr. tunes. Tommy Redd, (Nantucket and Boogie Chillins lead guitar man) asked him that day at The Last Resort why he didn't put a Hank Williams Jr. tribute band together. The idea was born!! February 2009 came around and Frank approached Tommy Redd about helping him get the band together. They started to work with some practices and changing of musicians until they played their first gig on May 2, 2009 at MVP's in Raleigh. With Frank, looking like Hank Jr., singing and occassionally playing spoons, and Tommy Redd on lead guitar, Rob "Libido" Bilodeau on bass guitar, Frank Suggs on pedal steel and harmonica, and Phil Falco on drums, it's easy to see and hear how their 150 years of combined musical experience comes together to put on a show that everyone can enjoy. The band also includes female vocalist, Sandi "Lightnin" Morrow, lending a hand with backup vocals and kick-ass songs by Gretchen Wilson and rocker Joan Jett. "All My Rowdy Friends" is a band that puts all the party and good times into the music we all know and love to hear. Whether it's a biker bar, rocking country club or annual event, "All My Rowdy Friends" fits right in and gets the party started!!
