When he entered high school, he performed in jazz band and the Mesa High School marching band.  He continued with music, playing with local rock-n-roll bands, writing songs, and dabbling in studio recording.

He then settled into a local variety band (Beggars Gin), for several years.  He sang all the country material that the band performed, discovering that he had a natural twang in his voice that people seemed to enjoy.

It was during this period Rodney decided to start learning guitar.  He went on to help form a country band with Charlie called Latigo and is now front man for the Bella Union.

By the time he was nine, Randy was determined to make a living entertaining. In 1962 he and his brother recorded Randy's first record. Then a major label, Presta Records and Buena Vista Productions joined together and launched Randy's career.

In 1999, Randy went to Nashville, Tennessee and recorded his latest CD “Tell The Mirror".  I don't think there is a song on this album that's not destined to be a HIT!! "This is music that nobody does better than Randy Wade." 

With the advent of the Internet Randy's music is truly  worldwide. Whether it's the toe tapping rhythm of "Cowgirl Chicks" or the soul searching emotion 
of "Tell The Mirror" Randy is truly The Entertainer. 

Today Randy still enthralls crowds with his rich melodies and extreme range with the ever popular Bella Union Band. 

Randy plays lead and harmony vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, bass, keyboards & mandolin for Bella Union.

He has been interested in music since he was a little kid and was brought up listening to bluegrass and country. 

He feels his style of play is more country rock, but he still enjoys playing the classics.  He's jammed with a lot of old timers in the past and has learned some tricks from all of them.

Jeff feels fortunate to have had some very good teachers.  Jeff's other interests are classic cars and motorcycles but says if he had to choose which hobby he enjoys most, it would be playing music.
