Bob Feldman, Redhouse Records

An impressive lineup of artists will come together at St. Paul, Minnesota’s historic Fitzgerald Theater on Sunday, September 9, for A Tribute to Bob Feldman: Celebrating a Life in Music.  Proceeds from the  7 p.m. concert will benefit the Bob Feldman Redwood Forest Fund to be disbursed to organizations engaged in efforts to conserve the Redwoods that the late founder and president of Red House Records so loved. 

The concert will feature artists who have recorded over the years on the folk/roots label, including Greg Brown, Eliza Gilkyson, Cliff Eberhardt, Tony Glover, John Gorka, Prudence Johnson, Spider John Koerner, Ruth MacKenzie, Dean Magraw, Dave Moore, Peter Ostroushko, Eric Peltoniemi, Claudia Schmidt, Robin & Linda Williams and Jeff Willkomm.

Regarded as a tireless music promoter and producer, who devoted his life to nurturing and enhancing the careers of some of today’s leading roots music artists, Feldman maintained close personal relationships with many of the artists on his label and acted as a friend and fan, as well as a business partner.  Feldman, who died on January 11, 2006, at age 56, after battling several illnesses, also had hosted a weekly program called “Urban Folk” for more than 15 years on KFAI Community Radio in Minneapolis and was a frequent guest on Minnesota Public Radio’s “The Morning Show.” 

Tickets for the benefit concert, priced at $50 and $35, can be purchased through the Fitzgerald box office or by calling (651) 290-1221 or visiting www.fitzgeraldtheater.org. online.

Those wishing to donate to the Bob Feldman Redwood Forest Fund may send checks made payable to "Bob Feldman Fund of TMF" to the Minneapolis Foundation, 800 IDS Center, 80 South 8th Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402.
