Redbird is a powerhouse six-piece band that blends the best of classic rock and folk-rock, Americana, Southern rock, and blues into a soulful, high-energy live music experience. Covering beloved hits from 1970s legends to modern Americana favorites, Redbird delivers a rich, genre-spanning sound that resonates with fans of classic storytelling and heartfelt musicianship.

At the heart of Redbird’s dynamic sound is Loretta Crenshaw, a powerful lead vocalist whose warm, expressive voice brings fresh energy to songs by artists like Linda Ronstadt, Lucinda Williams, Rosanne Cash, and The Chicks.

Supporting her with tight harmonies and versatile keyboard work is Emily Valentin, whose sweet voice and instrumental textures add emotional depth to every performance.

On guitar, Redbird features a formidable duo: Jimmy Smith, a career blues guitarist known for his fiery solos and deep musical roots, and James Kyker, whose rhythm and lead guitar work infuses every song with drive and nuance.

Scott High anchors the band with groove-heavy, melodic bass lines and occasional forays into other instruments, while Rita Shepler keeps the beat locked in with powerful, precise drumming that seamlessly shifts across styles.

Redbird’s setlist includes timeless songs from Fleetwood Mac, JJ Cale, Allman Brothers, and Willie Nelson to modern Americana staples like Lucinda Williams, Taj Mahal, and Robert Plant/Alison Krauss – songs to love for every generation. Whether it’s a moody blues number, a moving country anthem, or a rousing rock-and-roll classic, Redbird brings authenticity, chemistry, and passion to every stage they play.

The band, based in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is available for booking for public events, music venues, and private parties within a 50-mile radius of Eureka Springs. Skilled at leading special events, lead singer Crenshaw is also an experienced public speaker and emcee. Redbird performs with its own PA system and sound engineer, Don Turnock.
