For 20 years, bass player, singer and bandleader Charlie Redd has called himself a Tulsan. But Redd brings the “flava” of his past homes — San Antonio and Austin, Texas; Japan; Hong Kong; and his birthplace, Los Angeles — to the music he makes in Oklahoma and beyond.
Though he recently provided background vocals to greats including Jimmy Vaughan, Charlie Sexton and Robert Plant, even participating in a super-band of legends at the most recent Austin Music Awards, Redd might be most well-known in Tulsa for his funk-pop band Full Flava Kings.
The band’s lead singer and bassist, Redd describes his music career as a sequence of opportunities. From joining the Tulsa-based band Freak Show in the 1990s, which first moved him to Oklahoma, and then hitting the road with Vaughan and Eric Clapton, he now travels in stints with Full Flava Kings.
“My music is inspired by everything I hear,” Redd says. “The Beatles; Earth, Wind and Fire; Stevie Wonder; Prince; Jimi Hendrix at the top of the list of artists. Gospel, jazz, blues, rock ’n’ roll, classical, reggae. So many different influences.”
