FRIDAY NIGHT KICKOFF - MUSIC LINEUP

RANDY JAMES BAND

At its most powerful, music transcends barriers, uniting people who on the surface may seem to have little in common. Such is the case with the Randy James Band, a Bismarck/Mandan based blues/rock band whose partners, despite being from very different backgrounds, have a musical and spiritual bond beyond measure. On their debut album, one can hear the power of their friendship and dedication to one another in the music, a lush, emotionally intense and darkly beautiful bluesy rock record that goes much further than skin deep in exploring timeless and universal themes of love, friendship, strife, loss and determination in the face of all life delivers
