R.E.D.D. to Release New Album, Tour Southwest

On Saturday, March 11, 2017, R.E.D.D. – Hunter White and W.E.R.M. Matt Mitchell, hosted a listening session in Rooseveltown. They played the songs from their upcoming new album "The Next Chapter." The album is slated to have 11 songs on it and is set to come out in April. R.E.D.D. hosted the session to give the people who were a part of the album the first listen to the final masters.

"Whether they are a feature artist, producer/engineer or anybody involved in the project altogether, we wanted to let them know that their time and efforts did not go to waste," said the duo.

A few songs from the album include "Make Your Own Way," "I Want Everything" and "Rise Up," which is described by R.E.D.D. as "more of a political song."

"It's something that needed to be said, so we said it," W.E.R.M. said of the track.

Another song on the album called "We Got The Music"... "means the most to us," the duo said. "It shows how far we've come."

Two songs on the record were created for documentaries, which are what jump-started the album. The song "Last of a Dying Breed" is featured in the documentary "Dirt McComber: Last of the Mohicans," a production of Honest Engine Films.

R.E.D.D. explained, "At first they approached us with the opportunity to put a song together for the documentary film they're working on. They loved the song and right away asked us to do another, which was 'Go Big Or Go Home.' After that we built a relationship and the talk of an album came in to play."

Not only are they releasing a new album, R.E.D.D. will also be going out on the road. They will be a part of the Green Chile Tour, which will make stops throughout the Southwest including the infamous Gathering of Nations Powwow where they will perform for three nights. The first date of the tour is April 22nd at the Universal Bar in North Hollywood, California, and the final date is May 6th in Juarez, MX. R.E.D.D. will end the tour with an album release party here in Akwesasne.

About their latest endeavors R.E.D.D. said:

We would like to thank Honest Engine Films for the opportunity that got us where we needed to be.

Steve Cook and Brant Davis for the work they put in and making us prove we could do this in the short time that we had.

Our families and friends for always supporting and helping us.

Akwesasne and all the fans and supporters who keep believing in what we do.

We just want everyone to know that this journey in music for us was not easy. It came with a lot of ups and downs. But we kept writing and working and now that we have got a serious shot at this, we will show that we have grown as artists and got better at our craft. We appreciate everyone out there that supports the music.
