Randy Schulman + Musician in Austin, TX

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a mostly-acoustic multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter from Seattle, now living in Austin, Texas, founder of the legendary (in our own minds) Seattle "Grunge Bluegrass" band "The Swine", and host of "Swine Before Pearls", their long-running Public-Access TV series. I play guitar, mandolin, and fiddle mainly, also a bit of bass, harmonica, and banjo. I love Blues, Rock, Folk, Bluegrass, Country, and Metal. I'm a sucker for a good riff in any style! My band "The Swine" played all those forms with the instrumentation of a traditional Bluegrass Band, i.e. banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and doghouse bass.
