The Cincinnati Enquirer November, 2003-

On a Saturday night at Rudder's Sports Grille & Pub in Harrison, the crowd has come for 12-ounce longnecks and the high-energy music of Randy Peak. He starts playing after 9 and go non-stop for almost five hours. (It's the don't-take-a-break-and-the-audience-won't-leave philosophy) His repertoire includes the likes of Jim Croce, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Rolling Stones and Stray Cats, as well as original music.
Singer/guitarist Randy Peak is a Ted Nugent look-alike... He seems to be enjoying thimself, bantering with the bar patrons between songs.
...Randy, who likes to have fun on stage, invited John to perform with him at the Farm in Ross Township on a winter night two years ago. "Conga John", as he calls him, fit right in. He found some goofy hats back stage and passed them out.
Afterward, John told him, "If I'm in one little way getting in the way of what you're doing, let me know, and I  won't come back."
He's been back often.
...Randy, who live in Cleves, performs three to six nights a week, mostly on the west side. "Conga John", a painting contractor by day, almost always joins him for weekend shows...




The WestSider Magazine June, 2001-

There have been countless Male/Female Duets throughout musical history. Sony & Cher, Ike & Tina Turner, George & Tammy, Donny & Marie just to name a few. In Cincinnati, on the West Side of town, we have Randy Peak & Miss *******. Randy began playing guitar at the age of 12 and played in various bands throughour his life. Most notably, the D*****s M***e Band. Prior to that, Randy was with D****s when the band was formerly called Poison Whiskey. His first real band was called Helen Highwater. They played the Butler County club scene when he was in his early 20's. Randy is self taught on the guitar and...after graduating from Taylor High School...started playing out. One of the original band members of Helen Highwater was former Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarists, Mike Estes. This relationship landed Randy an audition to play for Skynyrd. Unfortunatly, MCA had other plans..."Looking back, it was probably better for all of us," says Randy. I went on to tour the NASCAR circuit with a band called Drivin' Sideways which provided me with the opportunity of playing  in front of thousands of people." Randy has played with the likes of 38 Speacial, The Marshall Tucker Band, Merle Haggard, David Alan Coe...and many others. He even had a performance on the former Nashville Now Network and interviewed with host Gary Chapman. Upon Returning home, Randy hooked up with D****s and played on almost every stage in the city... You can find him playing all over the West Side. He tends to lean a little more toward "Biker Friendly" establishments, as he likes to ride...He is always looking to play new places. If you are a club owner in need of a really good acoustic act...he can relate to just about any demographic...




The WestSider Magazine April, 2002 ("Best of the West" Issue) -

Best Acoustic Solo/Duo/Trio:
We were happy to see that most of the votes for this category were honest. Most musicians didn't toot their own horns and get their following to vote in mass which was kind of cool. We know that there are a lot of talented acoustic performers out there. That was one of the reasons for the Acoustic Round Table. But here, you have been voted on by the people of the West Side. Out of all of the acoustic acts out there, Randy Peak received the most votes...




WestFest 2002 Program-

...Randy & H****** are a Dynamic DUO! Playing everything from Meatloaf to Patsy Cline, this duet is the most entertaining couple you'll ever see or hear. Check 'em out at WestFest.




Parky's Press September, 2001 (Hamilton County Park District)-

...Randy is one of the best guitar players in Cincinnati; (Squeezebox) Scott isn't bad on the guitar himself and he has an excellent singing voice. The group can be heard most any weekend at a local establishment on the west side of town. (Scott) sure can make a lot of music come out of one little accordian.
