Bio
My name is obviously Elliot Randall, I obviously did not play on "Reelin in the Years"(see pics if you think I am an older, bearded, Elliott Randall who shreds on geetar)... I love any kind of ROOTS music like soul, country, bluegrass, etc........ I have the best band, manager, and fans a fella could ask for and I am proud of my record. I have been able to open for greats like:..Lyle Lovett at The Concord Pavilion, CCR (if you dont get the abbrev. name look it up) at The Mountain Winery, and Hayes Carll at Cafe Dunord. I've been honored to play several KFOG events, and do tons of other cool things.....Like I said, I am proud of my record and you should check it out (CDBaby, iTunes, Rhapsody, etc.). I have some stuff below if you arent the type to take a flier on an independent americana artist. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the songs.......... ER...... ................ Elliot Randall & The Deadmen Elliot Randall: Lead Vocals, Guitar James DePrato: Guitars Kyle Caprista: Drums, Vocals Danilo Lopez: Bass, Vocals Elliot Randall & The Deadmen released their sophomore album, "Caffeine & Gasoline" in February of 2010. Just weeks later, they found themselves in the top 30 on the Americana Airplay charts, where they remained for seventeen weeks. "Caffeine & Gasoline" features a collection of songs that blend three-part harmonies with outlaw country, rock and the band's own brand of rhythm & blues. The album was recorded and produced at Mission Bells Studio in San Francisco by David Simon-Baker (ALO, Jackie Greene, The Mother Hips) and Randall. It features Randall's core band, The Deadmen - Kyle Caprista (drums,vocals), James Deprato (guitars,banjo,mandolin) and Danilo Lopez (bass, vocals), and a special guest appearance by Jackie Greene on keys. "Caffeine & Gasoline" builds on the strengths that were characteristic of Randall's debut - "a sweet voice, a keen eye, a deft hand with lyrics, and a great command of production dynamics." (Jessie Scott, MusicFog) Says Randall: "Caffeine & Gasoline" was an easy album to make and, at the same time, the album I've always wanted to make. Nearly everything on it was recorded live, straight to tape, with all the guys playing as a band. I hope this album proves that you can be a singer/songwriter and still get a groove going. I wanted this album to show that it's okay to rock a little bit. And having a kick ass band helps too..." Elliot spent much of his childhood in the south and was raised with a deep appreciation for country music and southern rock. When the now 28-year-old independently released his debut album ("Take The Fall") he found himself an early stand-out with critics thanks to a mood and lyrics that "defy his tender years" (Americana UK). Elliot taught himself to play the piano and guitar and the writing came naturally. His mother always kept him reading, "whether I wanted to or not" he jokes, and stressed the importance of poetry for the soul. The influences of a true cowboy country-songwriter father, a collegiate, literary mother and his heroes like Lyle Lovett, Bob Seger and Delbert McClinton have converged in songs like title track, "Caffeine and Gasoline", the working-man's "Getting My Nerve Up'" and Elliot's signature, sweet-voiced songs like "Too Lucky Too Long" and "Chasing My Tail". "Elliot Randall is a country singer-songwriter who doesn't sound like he should be from San Francisco. His music has an authentic feel, with lyrics that recall Waylon and Willie, along with the darker Merle and even the offbeat Dwight Yoakum, all coupled with the pop sensibilities of The Eagles. The album is crystal clear, produced to perfection, yet it still feels organic." (Berkeley Place, 2010)
