The Red Sea Pedestrians are a one-of-a-kind, full-blown, instrument-swapping fusion between tradition and the here-and-now. We’re talkin’ high-energy world-beat grooves, hypnotic laments from the earth, songs of celebration and wonder, all filtered through the band’s original vision. The band is a melting pot of six distinct singer/songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, exploring a warped and beautiful blend of Klezmer, Greek, Gypsy, Celtic, Jazz and American Roots.

The Red Sea Pedestrians are a one-of-a-kind, full-blown, instrument-swapping fusion between tradition and the here-and-now. We’re talkin’ high-energy world-beat grooves, hypnotic laments from the earth, songs of celebration and wonder: a warped and beautiful blend of Klezmer, Greek, Gypsy, Celtic, Jazz and American Roots, all filtered through the band’s original vision.
RSP are a melting pot of six distinct singer/songwriters, almost a self-contained variety show. Their sound is first defined by the sweet interplay between clarinet and violin, and is colored by three singers and multi-instrumentalists, as well as masterful percussion, providing the backbone to a musical experience that is both harmonically and rhythmically gratifying. The band members are also students of the great records of the sixties (notably late Beatles), and hence they have created a realm that is both comforting and challenging to the listener. Multi-layered lyrics, rich harmonies, and masterful playing complete the story.
Their captivating live shows and ambitious CDs have been getting rave reviews and building an energetic buzz throughout Michigan’s independent acoustic music community, including the garnering of nominations for two WYCE Jammie Awards: Best World Beat Album & Best Debut World Beat Artist.
The Red Sea Pedestrians have performed at Michigan-area venues and festivals including The Ark (Ann Arbor), The Michigan Theater (Ann Arbor), Blissfest Music Festival (Cross Village), the Earthwork Harvest Gathering (Lake City), Coopers Glen Music Festival (Kalamazoo), Nor East’r Music Festival (Mio), Bell’s Brewery (Kalamazoo), Founder’s Brewery (Grand Rapids), LVD’s Concert Hall (Goshen, IN), the 2008 WYCE Jammie Awards (Grand Rapids), and the upcoming 2010 Wheatland Music Festival

SETH BERNARD - EARTHWORK MUSIC
"The music of The Red Sea Pedestrians may be based in tradition, but it's also fresh and eclectic. Their playing is
authentic and energetic and gets listeners where they live."
LORRAINE CARON - "GRASSROOTS" WMUK 102.1 FM
"Watching the Red Sea Pedestrians in concert is not a passive event. The band just doesn't play music. They wrap their tunes and lyrics around you, pull you up from your seat, and force you to travel with them around the world."
- KEVIN KING, ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR, KALAMAZOO PUBLIC LIBRARY
