Busk Break: James Harrell and Kelli Redmond at Red Step Open Mic

Posted on by Steve Shanafelt

This weekend, we’re switching up the format just a little and including some non-busking material recorded at the Red Step Artworks open mic in Hendersonville, NC. The weekly event is held every Thursday, and is more of a round-robin of area singer/songwriters performing as much for each other as for any audience. In this video, singer/songwriter James Harrell performs an original tune, backed by Red Step owner Kelli Redmond. This recording is also hosted on the Xpress-backed local media experiment in Hendersonville, HVLLive.com.
