Reddie & Abel er en kvartet med base i København. Bandet er opstået ud fra en kærlighed til den rå og simple blues fra de amerikanske sydstater. Alle sangene er hjemmedyrkede med rå guitarer, gyngende bas og messende vokal i et musikalsk miks der kombinerer historiefortælling, folk, blues og spoken word til Reddie & Abels helt egen Murder Blues. Reddie & Abel står stolt på skuldrene af folk som Tom Waits, Johnny Cash og Robert Johnson.
Reddie & Abels musik er historier om lurvede kvaksalvere, fordrukne banditter og selvbestaltede profeter. Der er noget for enhver smag: druk, mord, flugt og hævn. Der er sande historier fra det Vilde Vesten som aldrig var, voodoo-historier fra Sumpen og forfaldshistorier fra Storbyen – alle sammen serveret med et skævt smil og et glimt i øjet. Så spænd dig godt fast, bestil en runde drikkevarer og nyd showet.
