Monday, 05 May 2008
The Redding Brothers have been busy trekking across the Middle East, performing for military bases all over Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan  since leaving the United States on April 29. The concert locations have ranged from beside rocket bunkers to inside of large tents, and the brothers have met and performed for the US Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force, and the British, Canadian, Bulgarian, and Dutch coalition forces.

"One of the greatest things about this is the people we've met", Micah Redding, guitarist and lead singer, stated. "We've had conversations with people all over. Some of them talked about how nice it was just to hear about life in the states; others have mentioned how they really identify with some of the songs we're playing."

The Redding Brothers also had the opportunity to venture a short distance outside an Army base in Afghanistan, and see some of the local children.

But the flight into one of the bases was probably the most intense experience of the trip so far. As the military plane filled to capacity with soldiers came over the mountains and dropped onto the airfield, it swerved back and forth, ducking and spinning, to avoid becoming an easy target for rocket attacks.

"Rocket attacks are a real concern here in Afghanistan," Micah stated. "When we came on base, we were warned they had happened during concerts before."

The Redding Brothers will be traveling to 5 more countries, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Quatar, before returning home at the end of May.

Here's our first update since we left the USA. We'll be posting more details of our trip later, but so far we've traveled through London and Armenia, and ended up in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Tonight (which is morning for most of you) we had a great show at the Manas Air Force Base, from 8pm -10:30pm. After the show, we packed up, and will be leaving here at 2:30am for Afghanistan.

More to come...
