Randy's musical style is influenced by the fiddling of Paddy Cronin, Sean McGuire, Simon St. Pierre, and Jerry Holland, all of whom he has been fortunate to visit with and hear in person. These great players inspired him to learn the fiddle while acquiring his own style of bowing and ornamentation. Combining sounds from his home state of New Hampshire with Irish and Cape Breton Celtic styles, Randy plays "New Hamptic."

An avid dancer steeped in the robust contra style of the Monadnock region of southwestern New Hampshire, Randy phrases the melody with a dancer's sensibility. He has performed throughout the U.S. and abroad at numerous venues including the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, HOTAfest, University of Chicago, Star Hampshire Dance Weekend, Gypsy Moon Ball, Lady of the Lake, and the Shetland Folk Festival. In addition to giving private lessons, Randy leads workshops in fiddling and has been designated a Master Teacher of Contra Dance Music by the N.H. State Council on the Arts.

Randy also collects and publishes fiddle tunes under the imprint, Fiddlecase Books. His latest CD, released in '05, is The Fiddler's Throne with Tom Hodgson, Will Miller and David Loney.
