Rebel Syndicate

About Me


Forget what you’ve heard. It’s not alternative country, edge of country, or any other subtitled, pre-packaged, freeze dried form you’ve been told. Southern music is country!
It’s the brutal honesty of a Billy Joe Shaver. It’s the raw attitude of a Hank Williams Jr., and the masterful musicianship of a Charlie Daniels. It’s a rhythm and a groove as thick as Daddy Buck syrup, as comfortable as your favorite boots, and as tasty as momma’s cookin. It’s knowin that you ain’t gotta trash your country to be a rebel. Southern music is country. That’s what it is. And that’s what they are. They are Rebel Syndicate.
Rebel Syndicate is the next generation of Southern bands and they come from a proud tradition. Southern Music is about the people and these boys never forget that. Each night these guys put every ounce of sweat and pride into giving the folks a show they’ll never forget. A show worthy of the peoples hard earned money. With a driving sound, tight southern harmonies and a wild stage show, Rebel Syndicate is more of a Southern Rock Opera than a country band. Let me tell you folks – That’s Entertainment!
Rebel Syndicate has shared the stage with the bands (and/or members of) Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Wet Willie, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Deep South, Kentucky Headhunters, Brother Phelps, Daryle Singletary, Shenandoah, Jeff Bates, Trent Wilmon, Sammy Kershaw, and the the list keeps growing. Rebel Syndicate continues to bring honest entertainment to audiences everywhere they go!

Randy Johnson – Rhythm Guitars, Percussion, Vocals
Randy is the front man and self proclaimed “Greatest southern rock tambourine player in the world”. His rich baritone is a warm accent to the larger than life persona he plays on stage. His energy is contagious and sets the tone for the show.

John (Injun) Scully – Drums, Percussion, Vocals
John has been playing and touring since his early teens. His incredibly visual style of playing and rocking, alto voice insures that even though he plays at the back of the stage, he’s always up front.

Jesse (CG) Roberts – Lead Guitars, Harmonica, Banjo, Mandolin, Vocals
Jesse been playing guitar since he could walk and he’s got a warm, soulful voice that draws comparisons to a young Michael McDonald. His mix of musicianship and showmanship has been wowing audiences throughout the Southeast.

Dr. Duane (Doc) Herring – Rhythm Guitars, Synth, Vocals
Doc is like a Southern Rock Godfather. Smooth as silk, cool as they come, and a rock solid anchor for the band. A fan favorite, his soft tenor provides balance to the in your face style of the band.

Rob (Shake) Watson – Bass, Vocals
Rob lives at both ends of the spectrum. His low and warm, fretless bass tone combined with a high, powerful tenor voice. It makes for one great sound.
