Jimmy Redd

As Alan continually paints the Southeastern music scene, a rare gem, such as Jimmy Redd stands out. Jimmy is a phenomenal musician, an English teacher at Mississippi Sate, a backpacker, and a thoughtful mind that takes time to get away from the world to formulate his ideas. His story begins in Booneville, a child learning piano for his father's church. Southern Gospel was his first influence before finding something that led Jimmy to playing guitar. The 90's, in all its grunge, punk, and social angst against the social norm. Later, Jimmy was introduced to backpacking from an older friend, and that poured gas on Jimmy's fire of self exploration, literature, and music.Al and Jimmy discuss social media, finding your place, music influence, social norms, and loving where you are.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
