"Those musicians were like family to me," he says, of the giants like Eddy Adcock, Jimmy Gaudreau, Bill Yates, Ricky Scaggs, Jerry Douglas, and Doyle Lawson. Spending the school years on a farm in Tennessee with his dad's sister, he traveled the roads with Charlie in the summers, soaking up ground breaking music and learning of life in a traveling bluegrass band.

When he finished his schooling, he chose to make his living playing music developing a solo career that found him opening for major country acts, fronting regional country and country-rock bands; and also teaching guitar in Richmond, Virginia. This wide and varied musical exposure has given Randy a deep knowledge and understanding of all kinds of music which has allowed him to draw from many genre. Randy has always been his dad's biggest fan. "To be able to replace him as the lead singer and guitar player with The Country Gentlemen is a dream come true." - Randy Waller.
