Biography
The Royal Reds project was conceived the day after a festival in July 2023. Spring Creek 45 and Chatham Rabbits played a show and collaborated on two songs the following day. Incidentally, that’s also when the seed was planted for the Mayhaw Music Festival. A lot happened that weekend.
Two songs were recorded in a traditional “sing into the can” style using a Myrtle vocal mic and one instrument mic. We recorded two songs and hope to record a couple more to make a 45 rpm record very soon. Little White Blues (J. Stickler) is a haunting song about hopelessness, inspired by many work visits to the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, FLA. Sarah McCombie (lead vocals / banjo), Austin McCombie (Gibson archtop ES150), Michael Prewitt (mandolin), and Steven Salter (harmony vocals) perform this tune. YouTube documentary video is available for Little White Blues.

The second song, Help Me Work, is moving piece written and sung by Salter, with Sarah, Austin, and Michael on strings.
