Putnam Herald SCOTT DEPOT -- Nashville-based independent recording artist The Redding Brothers will be 'getting back to their roots' in a special two-hour performance in their hometown at Teays Valley Cinemas on Friday, Feb. 24 from 7-9 p.m. to benefit LifeWay, a St. Albans-based shelter for the homeless and hard to reach. The band, a trio comprised of brothers Micah, Josiah and Gabriel Redding, is originally from the Charleston area but are currently relocating their headquarters to Nashville, Tenn., to further pursue their musical ambitions. The Feb. 24 "History of the Redding Brothers" set will allow the band to bid farewell to their hometown fans one last time before their final move. The concert is taking place in Teays Valley Cinemas' largest theater -- with more than 300 seats -- located at 170 Erskine Lane in Scott Depot. According to Doretta Osburn, Hurricane resident and Redding Brothers band manager, 10 percent of all ticket proceeds will be donated to LifeWay, along with free tickets to the show for each shelter resident. "We've been involved with the shelter for quite some time now, and we know several of the residents personally, but this is the first time we've actually had the chance to raise funds for LifeWay as a band," said Micah, Redding Brothers lead singer and guitarist. "We also wanted to treat the residents to a free concert to hopefully bring a little joy into their lives, which I think sometimes we all need." The concert will feature more than 10 years' worth of the Redding Brothers' songwriting, from their beginnings back in 1995 to their newest works, some of which have never been heard by any audience before. Opening the concert for the Redding Brothers will be local performing songwriter Bug Lilly, a Charleston resident and personal friend of the band, joined by local folk-rock vocalist Jessica Saunders. Immediately following the concert, the Redding Brothers will be hosting a meet and greet and autograph session in Teays Valley Cinemas' activities room, followed by a special after-show party at Husson's Pizza next door to the cinema. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door, and $3 off for children 10 and younger. Tickets can be purchased at the Teays Valley Cinemas box office, online at reddingbrothers.com, or by calling toll-free 1.888.88.REDDING (1.888.887.3334).
