Otis Redding's legacy continued to shine as various artists took to the stage in this tribute concert to raise funds for the Otis Redding Foundation. Highlights included "St Paul and the Broken Bones" who absolutely nailed covers of selected songs from the Otis Blue Album. If you are a fan of great classic soul music, this band is a MUST SEE!
Performances by such greats as Eddie Floyd, William Bell, Steve Cropper, and Chuck Leavell rounded out a star-studded evening. A reunion of "The Reddings" composed of Otis Redding, III, Dexter Redding, and Mark Lockett gave spot-on versions of many classic Otis songs. Up and comer Andra Day gave a great performance, later joining all artists on stage to close the show with "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay".
After the show, many artists were available for pictures and conversation. The Redding family is particularly gracious in meeting and greeting fans.
