Elliot on KFOG with Renee Richardson
License this music for commercial use through Pump Audio
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 have been a performing singer/songwriter for almost 2 years now, quite a while I know... I just turned 25 about two weeks ago on August 19, 2007. This makes me a leo but I dont follow zodiac stuff. I love any kind of ROOTS music like soul, country, bluegrass, etc....
2007 has been a great year so far. 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 and CCR (if you dont get the abbrev. name look it up) at The Mountain Winery Ive 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....

"KFOG gets it right.
From the off, this album grabs you and doesn’t let go. It’s powerful, melodic, sublime and utterly delicious...Randall can make you soar, contemplate and pull at your heartstrings – all at the same time."
- Phil Edwards, AmericanaUK.com
"Take the Fall is, easily, one of the best independent releases of 2007...Every one of the 10 tracks on this album is a winner. This young man from San Francisco is one to watch."
- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music
"I love this kid. From the first time I heard his music I was moved. His beautiful, almost haunting songs led me to believe he was much older than twenty-four..."
- Renee Richardson, KFOG 104.5 San Francisco

Thanks a lot man! I will definitely make it out to your show if you're down this direction! and hey if you're ever in need of a last minute opener in Seattle, i'm your man bud! :)
Elliot! Your music is beautiful. Just know that you were an inspiration for me when I met you as a lil freshman. Lol. It's been a long time. If you come down to Los Angeles, let me know. I'm down to organize a show together. What a great way to cross paths again, right? Much much love.
Thanks for the add Elliot! Been hearing you on my favorite radio station your stuff always makes me smile. Looking forward to a live show some day 'cause I hear you're great live. Shoulda followed CCR this way...then I'd be able to see ya on Friday.
hey elliot.......just saying 'hello'.........i sang along with your cd on the way to a gig the other night(drew's house concert) -- love warming up to your cd. if you are around the city on june 21, i'm doing the free sf folk fest, and will be at kc's open mic as a feature on the 16th. hope all is well and you are out bringin' your great tunes to the world.......
I can't tell you how much I am digging the CD. I have it in rotation on my iPod and each time one of your songs comes on, it makes me smile. Can't wait for the next local show in SF. You guys rock live!
Plan on me coming to a show in the future for sure! And hopefully, you'll have that free cd offer again cuz they were all gone by the time I looked...LOL...Probably for me bringing this up it will be twice as much! That's cool. I'll remember you in my will.
your music is ridiculous. I love the recordings, love the live show. Is cd baby the best way to order the album, or is there a way to do it where you get all the dough? I need that shit in my car.
Had a great time at the show last night!! My husband and I have come to see you twice in San Fran....now you have to come our way. Please come to Chico and play we would love to see another show. That way I can yell out to you to play Folding Aces again!! ;)
