Red House is Tim Scott, Jimmy Holden, Robin Crane and Mark Noftsger-- a musical experience. Red House isn’t just a Blues band. They embrace many of the idioms that sprang from the Blues; R&B, Soul, Funk and even a little Jazz. And each musician brings to the table almost 50 years of experience and expertise. That’s one reason why Red House is the band other bands come to see. They’ve been in the studio and just released a 4 song EP, titled “Over Yonder” —one cover tune and 3 original songs. They’re back in the studio now recording a follow-up CD. If you haven’t heard Red House, check them out. You’ll be glad you did.
