About Me

When he is not down in "NashVegas" doing business and co-writing with the great friends he has made there,....... Singer-Songwriter Randy VanVooren is also performing with his band "Rivertown" at selected Midwest locations and is currently working on his first solo CD. He has had the privledge of opening for many of today's hot new Country Artists the past 10 years and 3 of his songs have been featured nationally on GAC's own Chris Conn's syndicated radio show "The Conn Man Show" for an unprecidented 3 straight weeks! After meeting Singer/Songwriter Marc-Alan Barnette a few years ago at a music festival in which they were both performing at, a friendship was born and MAB has since introduced Randy to a lot of Nashville's influential people and hit songwriters. As a member of NSAI and SOWI, Randy is also helping others build a better understanding of how to make better songs for today's new country music market.

Now, today, some of my favorite writers are: Phil Vassar, Rivers Rutherford, Drew Womack, (too many good ones to list!) I just love GREAT melodies with Great words that match those melodies!
