   Read ProCritic's Review on AOL City Guide about John when at Lennie's Club. Interesting review.

   John is given mention on Rocco Prestia's (Bass for Tower of Power) website for donating to his medical fund, right under Marcus    Miller's name.

   Type in "John Redam" on GOOGLE and see what pops up...interesting and entertaining links we didn't even know about.

   Did you know that when living in Little Rock, John performed for former Governor/President Bill Clinton, met Hillary, and was    acquainted with Roger Clinton, Bill's half-brother, who was an excellent Rock singer in his own right? John sat in with Roger's band    at The Wine Cellar Club in Little Rock in the '70s.

   One of the news and entertainment media's favorite famous Divas regarding the Clinton era, Gennifer Flowers, worked briefly at    putting together a band with John in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1979, while John, wearing one of his many musical "hats", was briefly    a booking agent for ABC/Musad during the day, while continuing his performing at night. Gennifer also dated one of John's long-   time friends and drummers, uh, after Bill, during, before, we're not sure...Gennifer is a brunette, not a blonde, by the way.

   John McEuen, Jeff Hanna, and Jimmy Fadden from The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, sat in with John and his band Southbound at The    Wine Cellar in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1976, playing both The Dirt Band's tunes and some covers.

   John's road band Southbound, performed with K.C. & The Sunshine Band in Natchitochis, LA, and partied with K.C. and the band in    K.C.'s room at the Holiday Inn to almost sunrise the next day. John and the boys felt it the next day, that night, and the next    day...K.C. and his girl singers invited John to visit his studios in Miami, FL. John said that K.C. (Harry Casey) was a great "down    to earth" guy, as were the rest of the band.

   John and his road band SASS while performing at the Hilton in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1983, met Jeff Cook and Randy Owens    of Alabama. John ate breakfast with Randy and Jeff and said they were both great guys. Alabama was performing at the Civic    Center next to the Hilton. Almost 20 years later in 2002, after John, with Johnny Duke & Shootout, finished opening for Virgin    Records artist Clay Davidson at Tulsa's "Hall of Fame", both John's and Johnny's gear was accidentally taken with Clay's gear on    their tour bus to Lake Charles, Louisiana, to that very Civic Center behind that Hilton John had performed at years before. It took    over two weeks to recover their gear. Ya never know, folks.

   While John and Little Rock's Touch of Class had the house band position at the Little Rock Hilton on University Ave., members of    the funk/fusion band Cameo sat in and hung with the guys. Cameo and Larry Blackmon (singer/founder) is one of John's    favorites. Cameo was touring in two beautiful twin dove-gray customized tour buses. This was in 1983.

   When John and his partner Wayne Hackett had the sound company contract at The Little Roxy in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1983,    Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers and Tracy Nelson of San Francisco's "Mother Earth" named their company "John/Wayne    Productions". Gregg is one of John's favorites, and Tracy became one of John's all-time favorite female vocalists after running    sound for her. John and Wayne ran sound for Head East, The Killer Bees, Rusty Wier, Tres Hombres, and many more.

   When John's concert band "Slap Happy" (RCA) performed with Styx in 1974, the late John Panozzo (drums) said John was "one of    the best new guitarists/vocalists" they'd shared a concert stage with in a great while. Back in those days, John wore his hair in a    very long "shag", played a Gibson cherry-colored 344-Stereo through Marshalls. John was extremely shy about singing in those    days, still searching for his own unique "voice", and from that great compliment, it gave him more confidence.

   When playing guitar and singing with Happy Jack, John and the band opened for ZZ Top in 1974 at an outdoor concert in    Arkansas. Happy Jack was a 6-piece, tight, and well-received concert band in their own right. But when Billy, Dusty, and Frank took    the stage, they absolutely blew John away in how tight and powerful they were as a three-piece. ZZ was traveling in Winnebego    Motor Homes in those days, and John and the band sat and chatted with them before the show. They were really great guys with a    great sense of humor, John says. This was when Billy's hair was black and had a short beard, Dusty no beard, and Frank with no    "Beard"...he already had that covered.

   When John was performing with the road show-band "Holidaze" from Wisconsin back in 1983, while at the Renaissance Hotel in    Des Moines, Iowa, none other than New York baseball legend Reggie Jackson was in the audience that night. John didn't know it    ahead of time, but when sitting down at the bar on break after their first show, a man right next to him said "you guys are really    good and put on a great show...I like your voice, a lot of soul". John turned to thank the guy, and immediately realized it was    Reggie! Great compliment from one of baseball's all-time great players, which John treasures to this day.

   Five-time World Kick Boxing Champion, Dale "Apollo" Cook, paid John and Touch of Class several compliments when he came and    saw them perform at a couple of Tulsa nightclubs. John took his second-youngest son to meet Dale at his Martial Arts school from    Dale's invitation, just about two blocks down the same street from where John still lives today. His son got the biggest kick out of    that, as John had enrolled his son in Jeet Kune Do with a different teacher (Sifu) at that time, and was very interested in the    Martial Arts. John runs into Dale once in a great while, Dale always being cordial and friendly. Yes, even Tulsa has many of it's own    famous people.

Producer's Workshop - John's original CD 'DANCE' was mastered here.

John is a veteran performer of concerts, clubs, touring, with T.V., movies, and radio appearances, Nationally and Internationally. He is a live/studio engineer/producer, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, vocalist, arranger, and composer.
