Biography
Band leader Randy Cook lives in Hanover County, Virginia with his wife and two grown daughters. He plays mandolin and sings lead and harmony vocals. Randy started playing guitar in high school and became interested in Bluegrass music while in college. After graduating from Virginia Tech Randy returned to the Richmond area and helped form the well-known country-rock band, Second Helping, playing a stint on the pedal steel guitar, which he continues to play today when he has time. Randy’s love of Bluegrass music kept him interested in playing acoustic guitar and mandolin, and in the late 1990’s he joined with banjo great James Bailey (formerly with The Country Gentlemen) to form James Bailey & Company. The group released two CD’s that introduced Randy to Bluegrass music at the national level.

Malcolm plays Banjo in the Commonwealth bluegrass band and wrote four of the twelve songs on the both Commonwealth Bluegrass Band CD's, contributing to the originality of the Virginia based band.
