DaAnimal has toured and recorded with several local and national musicians and groups. Some of which you may have even heard of, but being a modest fellow he just likes to say; "I've come to realize that playing with great friends is what inspires me the most".
A self taught musician, Randy enjoys all types of music, but Classic Rock is his main influence. And over the years he has become a walking encyclopedia of little known and trivial musical information. From Buffett to ZZ Top he enjoys both the historical facts and keeping up with the music industry's current events.
When it comes to his own performances he likes to keep it simple, often saying; "less is more" and "I know you can't please everyone, but if I can get just one person clapping, singing or dancing, I feel my role as a musician has been accomplished."
Da Animal has now been accepted into "The VOID", where he enjoys doing whatever he needs to do to support them, from polishing Jim's cymbals, cleaning Jim's amps, making sure Bill has proper air fresheners handy, tuning Matts guitars, to helping out with learning to be whatever is needed of him. "I just enjoy being around this great group of musicians, and I'm proud to call them 'my special friends'."
