All it took was singing along to a Garth Brooks CD in his mother’s station wagon for a young Derek Randall to find his direction in life.
He grew up in Missouri where he found his love of sound from artists Frank Sinatra to
Klaus Meine. After learning some guitar chords in high school, Derek was launched into the genre of rock where his band opened for the likes of Seether, Saliva, Shinedown, and Halestorm. Now he is taking his rock roots and lively stage presence to the country music world. His diverse experience and influence allow him to create his own unique sound – a mixed-drink of emotion-packed country and fist-pumping rock ‘n roll.
Music and family are of the upmost importance in Derek’s life and that can be seen in his interactions to his listeners and his bandmates. “I play music for the connection,” Derek explains. “I love how music brings people of all backgrounds together. Especially at live events. It doesn’t matter your background or where you may be headed in life. At that moment the crowd and the band become one and share that moment. That moment can never be taken from us.”
It is hard to find Derek without his band: Sean Jones (Lead Guitar), Jesse Benton
(Rhythm Guitar), Dustin Taberski (Drums), and Mikey Trixx (Bass). Join Derek and his band as he embarks on his musical ventures – this is the spark to ignite the rest to come!
