The Redding Brothers have been busy
trekking across the Middle East,
performing for military bases all
over Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan
since leaving the United States
on April 29. The concert
locations have ranged from
beside rocket bunkers to inside
of large tents, and the brothers
have met and performed for
the US Army, Navy,
Marines, and Air Force,
and the British, Canadian,
Bulgarian, and Dutch
coalition forces.
"One of the greatest things
about this is the people
we've met", Micah Redding,
guitarist and lead singer,
stated. "We've had
conversations with people
all over. Some of them
talked about how nice
it was just to hear about
life in the states; others
have mentioned how
they really identify with
some of the songs
we're playing."
The Redding Brothers also
had the opportunity to
venture a short distance
outside an Army base in
Afghanistan, and see
some of the local children.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the bases was probably
the most intense experience
of the trip so far. As the
military plane filled to
capacity with soldiers
came over the mountains
and dropped onto
the airfield, it swerved
back and forth, ducking
and spinning, to avoid
becoming an easy
target for rocket attacks.
"Rocket attacks are a real
concern here in Afghanistan,"
Micah stated. "When we
came on base, we were
warned they had
happened during
concerts before."
The Redding Brothers will be
traveling to 5 more countries,
including Kuwait, the
United Arab Emirates, and
Quatar, before returning
home at the end of May.
