RANDALL CONRAD OLINGER (RCO) CREATES A CUNNING BRAND OF AMERICANA THAT WHIPS THROUGH THE SALOON DOORS ON A WARM BREATH OF WIND, SETTLES ONTO THE BARSTOOL NEXT TO YOU AND KEEPS YOU COMPANY THROUGH THE NEXT MORNING

RCO IS A ORINGINAL ACT, AND THE MUSIC GENERATED BY THIS ONE-MAN MELODIC POWERHOUSE CONJURES IMAGES OF A SIX-STRING BALLADEER ROLLING AMID A NEW ORLEANS CAVALCADE ON A RICKETY OXCART DRAWN BY AN ONERY ONE-EYED MULE.

RCO'S MULTI-INSTRUMENTAL ATTACT SLINGS FORTH AN ECLECTIC ARRAY OF TEXTURES. IMAGINE: PERCUSSIVE RHYTHMS STOMPED ONTO SELF-STYLED CONTRAPTIONS ACCOMPANIED BY THE AMPLIFIED CATERWAUL OF SLIDE GUITAR.

RCO SINGS OF WATERWAYS, REVENGE, WANDERLUST, AND REDEMPTION WITH A HYBRID HOWL THAT IS EQUAL PARTS ROAD-TESTED ROCK AND ROLLER AND SOULFULLY EMBATTLED SOUTHERN BLUESMAN. THIS FORMER SAILOR'S MUSICAL CREATIONS ARE NOT MERELY SONGS. RATHER, THEY ARE MOVEMENTS THAT DRAW YOU IN, SWEEP YOU UP AND CARRY YOU ALONG WITH THE CURRENT -- SOMETIMES DELIVERING YOU PORTSIDE SOLACE AND OTHER TIMES PULLING YOU OUT UNTO THE BEDLAM OF THE OPEN SEA.
