About Me

I was born in Montreal in 1968. My grandfather was from Ireland, and he was a folk musician. My brother in law was a Dj for Chom fm, a Montreal radio station, and he had a 3000 record collection with everthing from blues to rock to those mysterious bands from England like the English beat; so , traditional folk and commercial music have a great influence on me. I studied classical guitar and composition at the convservatory in Quebec city before I started to perform my own songs. I' ve been lucky enough to work with some of the best musicians in the country. It's wonderful to play music with friends and to share with people who want to listen. I'm very happy today because I am releasing my first professional recording in Nov. "The Most Important Thing.." AVAILABLE NOW AT SILLONS ON CARTIER IN QUEBEC CITY and http://cdbaby.com/cd/randallspeartake care, randall spear.I would like to thank Barry Mell and Andr.. Lavernge for helping me set up this myspace.
