FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ABOUT REDVETTE GO TO PRESS AND READ ON!

Redvette’s genesis was in 1981

Started by Joe White and Kevin Luce, after deciding the band they were playing for at the time was not happening. Joe started as the bass player and lead singer, and Kevin as the only guitar player. Joe came up with the name on Highway 101 heading back into Redwood City after a totally lame rehearsal with their soon to be old band members. Kevin caved on the name after Joe persisted. This came to be a major part of Joe’s personality. Nag until they cave! Joe came to say years later….I wish I would have listened to LUCE.

They then hooked up with Kevin’s friend, drummer Grant Walthall. After a very short time Joe decided he would rather sing exclusively, and they snatched-up Joe’s long time friend Jack Gleason from another local up and coming band to play bass. Jack and Grant soon became THE tightest rhythm section of any band of the era. Although Kevin thought the band was perfect as is, Joe was wanting a little more, and finally convinced Kevin (though the nag factor) that the addition of Tim Girard on keyboards would not diminish the bands rocking energy but add to it immensely. Tim’s musicality and vocals took the band to deeper well, and his general delinquency with motorcycles and explosives actually helped garner the band all of the local “bad press” necessary to provide Redvette an authentic Rock and Roll reputation.

The music of Redvette is cherished by many, and was considered to be way ahead of its time.

The members of Redvette hope that you enjoy their music and invite all of the old friends, fans, and crew to use this site as a gathering place to remember the good times, bitch about the bad times, and relive, for a bit, the rocking’ 1980’s
