​Who Is Low Willie?

​Who Is Low Willie?

About Randy and Low Willie:

 I was a kid growing up in the 1960’s who came of age in the
1970’s.  Music and the American culture of those times
permeated my life and the vast majority of my generation. 
So, like many of my age, I dreamed of being in a band, making
music as well as making a contribution to our society.
Now, several decades later, I’m still on this musical road;
older yes, but that desire – to make music – has never left
me and is as strong as ever.  I can thank an incredible
family and a wealth of friends for their support and
encouragement along the way.

From the time I bought that $30 Sears guitar in 1976, I’ve
whiled away many hours learning chords and trying to
write songs; and there was the magic of those earliest of
times of actually playing with other musicians. And then,
out of a chance meeting between me and a couple other
musicians in 2003 the Low Willie adventure began. 
Americana-Country Rock-Blues music was the launching-
pad to fuel our interest as well develop songs I was
writing.  There’s been a lot of ground covered since then -
and most importantly I’ve been connected with some of the
finest musicians in the Charlotte region while making some
close friends along the way.  Further, and quite
unexpectedly, Low Willie has become an alter-ego of sorts
for me; a “place” I can go and explore a world of notes, words
and concepts without apologies, explanations or
pretenses. 

2023 marks the release of Low Willie’s 8th studio album of
original tunes. This album, entitled, “The Low Willie
Outlaw Theater” marks and celebrates 20 years since LW
first plugged-in. And yes, it’s been fun!

I hope you enjoy- Randy
