Randall has a rich career dating back to the 70’s and is still thriving today – both as a songwriter/ bandleader and as a first-call sideman to the stars. He landed on the speed dial of some of the greatest names in rock history, including Steve Winwood (16 years), Levon Helm, Warren Haynes,

Delbert McClinton. He’s certainly still well sought after – recently he’s been found playing with the Allman Brothers at the Beacon Theater in NYC, on a CD and tour with Bonnie Raitt, Widespread Panic – he leads the MegaBlaster Horns, and the Warren Haynes Christmas Jam. In 2015 he will return to the Dominican Republic to reprise his “super-band” The La Playa Allstars at the annual Widespread fest – Panic en la Playa.

Things hit high gear with the release of “The Bright Spots” on New West Records in 2013, ranking well on Americana, Roots Rock and Triple A charts. It was a Top 3 choice for CD of the year from Sirius/XM’s The Loft. AllMusic.com called it the Best Rock CD of the year. Cool Music and Movies also chose TBS for one of the Best Rock Album of 2013. And, it wound up #3 for CD of the Year in Australia’s Rhythm’s Magazine! Great accolades also from WDVX, Al Kooper, Hittin’ the Note Magazine and more.

Randall’s real claim to fame is his exhilarating and heart-felt live show. An honest and true performer, Randall and his band leave it all on the stage every night, and his many devoted fans have taken notice. Randall is simply one of the south’s best songwriters and strongest musicians.

Bonnie Raitt proclaims “You can’t do better than Randall Bramblett.” “One of the South’s most lyrical and literate songwriters.” Rolling Stone

“The end result of all this is a cool album that combines the vibe of a real-as-hell vintage soulman with modern musical ideas. You could listen to The Bright Spots all night, baby.”
