Redford: Tiny Rug Concert | Live at the Kenyon College Bookstore | 12.14.25

Описание: Redford Live at the Kenyon College Bookstore’s Tiny Rug Series | December 14, 2025

This collection of musicians has gone through several phases before reaching the current era of their band as it is today. Originally formed in the Fall of 2023 as a backing band for Tristan Alexander, the band performed one show before taking a semester hiatus. Returning in the Fall of 2024, this same band, now Redford, began writing original music and performing under their new name. After yet another semester hiatus, Redford returned, and this newest and current iteration not only introduced Abdullah Sajid Ismail on lead guitar, but also saw a shift in their songwriting style which largely features Olivia Griffin Erickson on lead vocals and dobro.

As a brief disclaimer, much of the concert footage was lost, so this video is a collection of the surviving footage in addition to footage provided to us from the community. Thank you to everyone who came to our last show of 2025, and thanks to everyone who sent in footage. Redford forever.
