Robert Randolph

Robert Randolph is a pedal steel guitar virtuoso and frontman of the group Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Emerging from the "sacred steel" tradition—an exuberant gospel music style rooted in African-American Pentecostal churches—Randolph brought his church-honed skills to broader audiences in the early 2000s, blending gospel, funk, rock, and soul into a high-energy sound that’s all his own. His electrifying stage presence and lightning-fast work on the pedal steel have earned him spots alongside legends like Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana, and multiple Grammy nominations.

The Family Band, featuring cousins and other close collaborators, is deeply rooted in family and faith, which infuses their music with soulful positivity and an uplifting vibe. Tracks like “Ain’t Nothing Wrong With That” and “Sinner” showcase their mix of old-school grooves with modern flair. Randolph’s mission has always been about more than just music—he aims to spread joy, unity, and inspiration through every song and show.
