A singer-songwriter from the American Southeast, Randy Whitt combines all of that region's root elements of country, gospel and blues to produce a unique sound that is, on one hand, wistful and lonesome, and on the other, jubilant and light. Randy stays within these established genres, while sounding fresh and original. Randy avoids formulaic writing, but manages to retain continuity throughout his work. His voice and guitar provide the consistent thread for the many moods that he conveys.Band/artist history

This lineup, featuring piano, harmonica, bass and drums, provides Randy with a solid backdrop and is now prepared to accompany him on tour.Have you performed in front of an audience?I tour with and without my band.

Happy Memorial Day!! I'm just buzzing around some soundclick charts today because veterans of past wars gave their lives so I have the right to do it! I found a good tune for the day on the Rock N' Roll Charts, by the Sulentic Brothers Band, called "Old Glory". It put me in a patriotic mood. I enjoyed what I found of yours on the charts and just wanted to spread the cheer. Keep up the good work!
