Lonesome River Band celebrating #1 Album as they welcome new band member
 
The Lonesome River Band closes out March with successful tour dates and a #1 album on the Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine’s Top 15 Album chart as they welcome their newest band member, Randy Jones on mandolin and vocals. Randy made his debut appearance with the band on March 19 in Conway, South Carolina.

Randy  lives in Strunk, Kentucky and began playing mandolin at age 8 with his Dad’s band, The Southfork Gentlemen. In 1986, Randy had a year-long stint with LARRY SPARKS and recorded a few cuts on his “Silver Reflections” album. He then exited the bluegrass scene for several years, performing in a rock band and later with a country group. Randy re-entered the bluegrass scene in 2003 as guitarist with Kentucky Wind. He has owned and operated his own recording studio since 2001 called Southfork Recording Company working primarily with bluegrass and gospel projects.
