Redwood began life fifteen years ago as a mail-order distributor for Holly Near’s records. Over the years, it has become a much larger concern without ever losing sight of its important social, political, and cultural roles. All of Redwood’s artists could be described as socially progressive, and many are explicitly feminist. Their styles are quite varied, with particular strength in folk/rock and Central American styles. Here is a record company that believes strongly that music should be used to effect positive change, both in the hearts of the listeners and in society at large.
