GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Award-winner, Jon Randall has done it all over his three-plus decades in the music business, working as a songwriter, guitarist, and critically acclaimed producer with some of the biggest names in country, bluegrass, and Americana.
Born and raised in Dallas, Randall caught his first big break after moving to Nashville, where he was invited to join Emmylou Harris’s Nash Ramblers band. In the years to come, he would go on to release a series of widely lauded solo records, produce for Dierks Bentley, Dwight Yoakam, Jack Ingram, Pat Green, among others, and write with and for the likes of Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Blake Shelton, Little Big Town, Guy Clark, Kenny Chesney, and countless more. He’d go on to earn a slew of award nominations, as well, and take home CMA Song of the Year honors in 2005 for “Whiskey Lullaby,” recorded by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, and the ACM Song of the Year trophy in 2018 for “Tin Man,” which he penned with Lambert and Ingram on one of their regular writing retreats to Marfa, Texas. The three returned there in 2019 to record their wonderfully authentic Marfa Tapes album, a critically acclaimed collection of songs the trio wrote together over various trips to Marfa, encapsulated in raw and honest live recordings.
In 2021 Jon returned to his roots and embraced the full spectrum of his artistry with the recording and release of his stellar new self-entitled album.
A force to be reckoned with, Jon Randall continues to write, record, perform, and produce in the heart of Nashville.
