Here’s some info about Randy Buell.  Not 100% sure it is up to date, but it is mostly historical anyway.  Taken from http://www.myspace.com/randybuellband

Randy Buell: Singer, songwriter, guitars. Randy grew up in south Mississippi. His influences came from various sources, including his family home. “My father was a huge musical influence, sharing his massive record collection with me from the time I was born.” Although his dad was not himself a musician, he had a keen ear and great musical taste. He encouraged his son by making the necessary investments in instruments and equipment and introducing him to friends who were skilled local players, often holding recording sessions at the Buell home. Out of these early experiences came his country music, bluegrass, and folk influences. This led to a ravenous desire for him to explore the other music genres. The guitar became a focus when he first heard “Jimi”! ” I was living in Germany with my family at the time(Dad was in the military) and my English teacher had an extra ticket to the Jimi Hendrix concert in Frankfurt(she was extremely cool!) “. “The deal was I had to take her little sister”. “No problem”!” Free Hendrix concert”!” Duh”! After that the die was cast and “the Buell” embarked on a journey that continues to this day. Other influences include such legendary players as Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Albert King, Freddie King, Eric Clapton, and Duane Allman to name but a few. Randy’s original music can be described as a truly unique rock form, influenced heavily by the blues.
