First-rate musicians to play downtown

First-rate musicians to play downtown

Randy Moore and The Fabulous Suedes will be taking the stage this Friday night during the summer concert series held downtown. Their ‘breakneck blues’ style of music fuses rockabilly, blue-eyed soul and Delta blues.
Main Street McMinnville will be rocking the night with blues thanks to Randy Moore and The Fabulous Suedes during the seventh installment of the Main Street Live summer concert series.

Randy Moore is out of Humble, Texas and has made music his trade for about 15 years. He has toured the world and opened shows for Hank Williams Jr., Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Vince Gill and Amy Grant.

The Fabulous Suedes are Bob Mummert on drums, whose A-list playing has landed on recordings by Roy Orbison, Dwight Yokam and Radney Foster. Joseph Anderson, who commands the keys, cut his teeth on Beale Street in Memphis before touring with Albert King and the Bill Black Combo. Eddie Bedford on bass has been featured on Music City Tonight and also toured with the band Alabama.

The band’s touring schedule is due to be sidetracked soon for a major motion picture directed by Billy Bob Thornton. The screenplay was co-written by Moore and is the story about the life and times of legendary Carl Perkins.

‘The Thinkin’ Place’ from Fastlane Entertainment is set for production in the late fall of 2008 with a mid-2009 release. The band will have a couple of songs on the soundtrack and will be featured in some of the film’s supporting roles.

Randy Moore and The Fabulous Suedes will take the stage and begin entertaining at 7 p.m. on the West Lawn of Security Federal. Food and beverage vendors are open at 6 p.m.

The event is free and sponsored by Dr Pepper, River Park Hospital, the Law Offices of Galligan and Newman, Ben Lomand TV, Clear Channel Radio and the Southern Standard, your source for local news.
