Randy Steele is a singer-songwriter and banjo player from Chattanooga, Tennessee, whose music bridges the road between bluegrass grit and introspective folk storytelling. A retired career firefighter who turned to banjo for solace, Steele’s songs range from hard-driving character narratives to raw personal confessions, earning accolades like the Independent Music Award for Bluegrass Song of the Year (‘Mobile Soon’) and semifinalist placements at the Kerrville Folk Festival, New Song LEAF festival and American Songwriter Magazine Song of the Year (‘Age of Ben’). His solo performances—praised for "masterful storytelling" (Outdoor Chattanooga) and "modern lyrical sensibilities" (Americana UK)—deliver high-energy charisma and emotional depth, making every show he does memorable. Steele independently releases music, including his latest single ‘Cheers to Rob', and tours nationally both solo and with his bluegrass band High Cold Wind.
