Troy Redfern + Red Giant

There’s something about the Welsh marches. As guitarist Troy Redfern tells it, he grew up in the shadow of Hergest Ridge, made famous by Mike Oldfield. The Welsh borders – roughly that area between Hay on Way, Brecon and Hereford – might not quite evoke the arresting geography and climate of say Louisiana, but there’s something about the freedom of that area…

It all fits perfectly into Troy Redfern’s world. He’s a passionate, intense, free spirited indie blues artist whose ferocious slide guitar style twists and turns timeless themes and ideas to his own ends.

In the studio, the multi instrumental slide guitarist and producer is a one man band who painstakingly pays attention to the minutiae of his tone, the imaginary arrangements and noir filled lyrics.
