ABOUT THE EXPERT

Randy Barber

With over 23 years of experience in the music business, Randy has basically worn every single hat possible in this industry. Moving to Nashville from Little Rock, Arkansas to pursue a career as a songwriter quickly found himself with a publishing deal and spending a great deal of time in the studio producing demo's. After writing a complete project with Eric Lee Beddingfield, Randy went to work with Eric full-time doing whatever was necessary to launch his career... from playing in ELB's touring band, to tour management, radio promotion ... whatever was needed to launch the career. His efforts led Eric to being the MusicRow Magazine Independent Artist of The Year in 2012, an opportunity to perform on the Grand Ol' Opry and a tour with George Jones.

This Success opened the door for Randy to take a role with Curb Records in Radio Promotion before finally starting his own Artist Development business, Bar Frog Music. Randy as worked with amazing artists including Dylan Scott, Larry Fleet as well as launching Eric Lee Beddingfield's career.
