Jun Music Unlimited had the distinct please of sitting down with one of Texas’ finest rocking Country groups, The Randy Rogers Band. Fresh off their CMAfest performance at the Riverfront stage, Randy and the guys swung by the PlayStation truck in downtown Nashville to learn about the service and answer some questions.
Music Unlimited: Your songs have some amazing vocal harmonies, particularly on the last album, Burning the Day. Was it a conscious decision to create that layered harmony?
Randy Rogers: I think that evolved. I was a singer-songwriter, playing acoustic, just trying to get my songs out there on open mic night. Then I started a band, and everyone in that band quit. They became accountants, they did other stuff. And then Jeffery joined the band and I think really we found our sound, at least vocally, when Jeffery joined the band because he sings the majority of the harmonies, [“like a bird” a band member chimes in] – yeah, like a bird. And I think whatever the blend between my voice and his voice, and Brady our fiddle-player when he joins, just happened organically enough—like hey you’re a good singer, we should start a band.
Music Unlimited: Your band has built its reputation as road warrior doing 200 shows a year. Is that the type of schedule that you see for yourself 5-10-20 years down the road? People like Willie Nelson have been doing it 50 years.
