Randy Rogers Band biography

American Country band, Randy Rogers Band is originally from Cleburne, Texas consisting of Brady Black, Geoffrey Hill, Les Lawless, Jon Richardson and Randy Rogers.

The band was first formed in 2000 by Randy Rogers, who had grown up playing music since the age of 6. In 2000 the band released their debut album entitled “Live At The Cheatham Street Warehouse” which was recorded at the Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, Texas. By 2002 the band signed with independent record label, Downtime, and released “Like It Used To Be.” The band started to tour more of Texas outside of San Marcos.

Two year after the release of “Like It Used To Be” Randy Rogers Band released their second album entitled “Rollercoaster” which produced two minor entries on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2005. The band then signed with Mercury Nashville Records and released “Just A Matter of Time,” an album that peaked at number 8 on the US Country Charts. Led off by the single “In My Arms Instead,” the band released their self-titled album on 23 September 2008.

The band’s fifth album, “Burning The Day,” was released in 2010 and the lead off single, “Too Late For Goodbye,” debuted at number 55 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The following album, “Trouble,” which was released on 30 April 2013, contained the band’s first single to enter the Billboard Top 40 Chart.

Live reviews

Fronted by, fittingly, Randy Rogers, the Randy Rogers band carry on a long tradition of Texans that make kickass country music. Having picked up his musical talents from his Grandmother at the age of 6, Randy continued to peruse the dream and after forming the band he has seen some real success. 4 of their albums have seen the light of the top end of the US country charts with 2 of them even breaking across into the regular charts, so expect a set that is able to deliver quality song after quality song.
The first thing that grabs you about their set is the power of it all. The drums are a pounding force that drive the country ballads, topped only by the chesty velocity of Randy’s voice. Don’t think it’s all brawn and no brains though. The songs are delicately textured with the guitars and fiddle often creating soaring counter points to the firm and catchy vocals that lead the songs. Randy’s come a long way since learning from his Grandmother, but with the tightness of the band around him you still get that warm sense of family every time you see him live.
