About Me

THE RED APPLES RE-EMERGE! That's right. After a very long and very cold winter the blossoming begins which will yield many more Red Apple appearances. We are very happy to announce our new line-up which includes Rich Castillo on drums, Pete Alinovich on guitar and Tim O'Brien on bass. You'll be hearing more about them in the near future, in the meantime check out our upcoming dates. We can't wait to see everybody again and get down to some serious music playing!The Red Apples got their name from a fictional pack of cigarettes in the film "Pulp Fiction", and they got their sound by playing life and living music. Based in Chicago, the band came into being with the marriage of one singer and one guitar player from divergent musical backgrounds. Their search to find common musical ground led them on an adventurous ride that turned into The Red Apples. This band brings their eclectic musical ear to both their writing and their selection of cover material. Their originals range from driving gritty country flavored rock to jazzy swing tunes with a poetic sensiblilty. Covering everything from Duke Ellington to the Kinks, in a typical set the Apples will moan some Lucinda Williams as well as wail some Iggy Pop, with the occasional polka tune thrown in for good measure.
