Notice: Website Changes, New Features

Friday, July 29th, 2005

In the next couple of days, the website will be undergoing some major renovations, so if you experience a lack of service or an error message, please be patient and check back soon. And believe us, the changes will be more than worth it.

These new renovations will bring a new level of interactivity to the website for all visitors, including new features like the “Redding Brothers Profile” system that will allow you to log-on to our website and interact with the band, as well as other fans, on our soon-to-be-launched messageboards, chat room, and private message system. The login system will also host a referral program with bonuses & free merchandise to the top referrers, our new online “members only” fan club, a new “members-only” street team, and an interactive photo page that will allow you — the visitor — to post YOUR OWN photos for everyone to see.

Sound cool?

We thought so too. Completion is scheduled for the beginning of August. So, please be patient while we’re upgrading our site, and if you have any questions, just click on the “contact” tab above, and we’ll be happy to answer them for you. Thanks everyone!

"Wisdom from the Green Shag Carpet" Finally Released!

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

The all-new full-length CD from the Redding Brothers, entitled “Wisdom from the Green Shag Carpet”, has finally been released. The release party was held at the Borders Cafe last night and was a huge success. We were honored by the presence of the wonderful local singer-songwriter Bug Lilly (www.myspace.com/buggamile), who did an excellent performance to open the show, after which the new CD was officially released. The Redding Brothers explained the background of the album and then played a 50 minute set. Three separate drawings for free merchandise were held during the show, one for a T-shirt, one for a poster, button & sticker set, and the grand prize drawing for the new “Wisdom from the Green Shag Carpet” CD. The new CD can be purchased in our online store here on the website, by clicking the “store” link at the top of the page. Thanks to everyone who helped out with our CD Release Party, especially to the Borders Cafe staff, Bug Lilly, Tiffany, Steve (for coming to our CD Release Party even after a long trip :-) , Reda, and to everyone who helped out. Thanks again!
