Three Maplewood and South Orange residents have been making music for over 20 years. They play originals but really love to play covers from Dylan to Dawes and Croce to Carlile and often joined by guests from the local music scene. Laredo always has a few percussion instruments so young children can join the band at outdoor performances.
They have performed at local restaurants and outdoor venues in Summit, South Orange, and Cranford, and, of course, a few times at Maplewoodstock. Gary Shippy, drummer, is a co-founder of Maplewoodstock.
