All it took was singing along to Garth Brooks in his mother’s station wagon for a young Derek Randall to find his direction in life.

Derek grew up in Missouri where he found his love of sound. He would listen to an array of genres, from artists like Frank Sinatra all the way to the other end of the spectrum with bands like Shinedown and the Scorpions. After learning some guitar chords in high school, Derek was launched into the genre of rock where his then band opened for the likes of Seether, Saliva, Shinedown, and Halestorm. Now he is taking his lively stage presence, and is expanding into the country music world. He currently resides in between Grand Rapids, MI and Nashville, TN. In Michigan he has developed his sound and live show with his band. Creating high energy country infused rock music. His diverse experience and influence allow him to create – Rock n Roll with a Country soul.

Music and family are of the upmost importance in Derek’s life and that can be seen in his interactions with 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 away from us.”

It is hard to find Derek without his band: Sean Jones (Lead Guitar), Jesse Benton (Rhythm Guitar), Dustin Taberski (Drums), Mikey Trixx (Bass Guitar). Join Derek and the band as they embark on their musical adventures.
