Like the aroma of carrot soup to Bugs Bunny, you can't help but be lured into the room as Roxie Randle starts to sing. The first thing you notice is her strong, supple voice. Next, her guitar-playing which is modest but elegant. Then the music... Roxie makes it easy for her audience to connect with the song by writing what she feels. Her songs are honest and accessible, inviting listeners to make themselves at home in the living room of her own little world. // Her performing experience is extensive and includes opening for Ricochet and Terri Clark, providing the National Anthem at the Pioneer City Rodeo (Palestine, IL), and performing in concert with Shania Twain. // Her style of original music is a result of combining several influences from various styles of music. "It's some Trisha Yearwood, some Amy Grant, some Shawn Colvin - all at the same time," Roxie says. // Roxie performs regularly at popular venues around Nashville including the famous Bluebird Café and has made quite a splash as a demo-singer as well, earning the title of "Female Demo-Singer of the Year" on DemoSinger.com. // Roxie has released two independent albums. Her debut album, "Live at The French Quarter Cafe," has been described as "perfectly paced and executed," "smart and refreshing," "one hit song after another." Her second release, "Something Real," embraces a more feminine, relaxed feel. Mark Bennett of the Tribune Star (Terre Haute, IN) describes it as "an easy listen, with hints of coffeehouse, country, folk and a ladies touch." Both CD's are available through CD Baby and iTunes. // Roxie is currently working with producer Eddie Gore on a new album to be released in 2011.
