The sound of Chad Randall’s music is dynamic and unique. It’s a blend of emotionally driven rock and atmospheric overtones. Influences swing as far right as they do left, from listening to James Taylor in the back seat of the family station wagon to discovering the Counting Crows and Ryan Adams. The blending of Chad’s artistic identity and that of his band “the moods†has created a truly fresh and distinct sound as they set their sites on the new Nashville rock scene and beyond.The band calls Nashville its home. It was here that Chad settled, leaving Madison, South Dakota, to pursue his musical aspirations. He was already an experienced performer, having played throughout the Midwest with the first band he formed, gaining local acclaim. He began testing the waters of song writing at the age of 14. By the age of 19 he was writing songs that were not only melodically driven but identifiable on an emotionally genuine and spiritual level. “I’ve always wanted to write songs that not only stir creativity in people but, connect with them on an emotional level…†By the time his second year at the local University was closing in Chad was already making plans to make a push at the recording establishment of Nashville.Within thirty days of moving to Nashville Chad was already establishing relationships that would lead to publishing and recording contracts with Chelsea Music Group, Nashville TN, and Reel One Music, Los Angeles.In the fall of 2006 Chad met guitarist Michael Gallaway at a local rock venue. The two began to collaborate as Michael began to add his own unique style and taste to the music. Within the next few months the two had added Kevan Albright to the rhythm guitars, Dan Pinson to reinvent the rock bass guitar, and Casey Kinnan to anchor the Rhythm section on drums. “Casey is one of the best Rock drummers in Nashville. Having worked with him on 2 previous projects, I already considered him a close friend and I was excited to hear he was on board,†Chad recalls.With the line-up in place, the band is rapidly filling their schedule with upcoming shows. They are currently set to record winter/spring of 2008. Look for them, coming to a venue near you.
