Leon Redbone

Leon Redbone (born August 26, 1949) is a performer of classic early 20th-century, jazz, and blues music who has been called the most famous non-famous American musician.

Supposedly born in Cyprus to Armenian parents (né Dickran Gobalian, according to some sources), Redbone cultivates an aura of mystery and therefore is not easy to biographize. It is known that he lived in Canada for years, where he first began performing in public. Frequent appearances in Toronto clubs and at folk music festivals in the early 1970s helped him to build his musical reputation and his mysterious persona.

In 1974, Rolling Stone Magazine ran a feature article on Redbone, a full year before he even had a recording contract. Described in the article as "so authentic you can hear the surface noise," Redbone told the magazine that he was the love child of Paganini and Jenny Lind.

Redbone finally released his first album, "On the Track," for Warner Bros. Records in 1975.

He has an extensive and enviable performance history with musical greats and has made appearances in even popular cartoons including those of Mister Boffo and Gary Larson.

On top of soundtrack and lesser compositions, Redbone has released approximately a dozen albums and earned a near cultic fan community who will travel significant distances to hear him perform. His recurrent gags involve the influence of alcohol, claiming to have written works well before his time (as part of the age mystery schtick), and his concerts blend performance, comedy, and skilled instrumentals.

Redbone survived the crash of a small plane in the early 1980s and now travels to engagements exclusively by car.
