Redbone

Appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970


Formed in 1968 in Los Angeles, California, by the brothers Pat Vasquez (bass and vocals) and Lolly Vasquez (guitar and vocals).


Redbone played primarily rock music with R&B, Cajun, Jazz, tribal, and Latin roots. Their first commercial success came with the single "Maggie" from their second album, Potlatch, in 1970, and two other hit singles followed - "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" (1971) and "Come and Get Your Love" (1974). Lolly Vegas was one of the first guitarists to make extensive use of the distinctive Leslie rotating speaker effect in his electric guitar amplification setup
