Randy Lewis

At an early age, Randy Lewis expressed an interest in music not knowing where it would take him. Initially playing at church led him to form his own group, which developed into a passion to perform, teach and record music.

             Randy was fortunate to work with the artist Jessica Andrews, tour with Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood  and open for acts like Tim McGraw.

            Wanting to learn more about the instrument, Randy attended Austin Peay State University and taught guitar at Mary’s Music in Clarksville. He says teaching not only allowed him to teach others, but to also appreciate the art of music through someone else. Randy is still at Mary’s Music, working as a guitar technician.

            In his “spare” time, Randy’s attention is geared toward producing as well as engineering, and he is working with several projects.

             This combination of music disciplines creates a balance in his music career, which Randy enjoys and for which he is thankful.
