2. In April 2010, the paths of two dynamic and creative musicians crossed… Soulfulvocalist Randolph Matthews and Flamenco guitarist Byron Johnston Both brought unique skills to a fusion of Spanish acoustic guitar and African soul.

3. Randolph has a powerful yet tender vocal style which blends soul and folk music with elements of neo African styles. He is a stirring and inspiring solo artist who introduces elements of vocal percussion woven between touching melodies and his distinctive ‘heartsong’. Solo guitarist Byron Johnston is a gifted musician who has performed his fusion of Mediterranean & Flamenco influenced music internationally from India to the Caribbean. He has been a featured soloist at The International Guitar Festival and London Guitar Festival following the release of his album ‘Oceano’.

4. Each of them is an established musician in his own right and between them they have played at many venues and festivals. Just to name a few…. Jazz Café, Camden Roundhouse The Clapham Grand The Electric Theatre Royal Festival Hall (Southbank Centre) Barbican WOMAD Scala Stratford Circus Harrow Arts Centre The Queen Elizabeth Hall (Southbank Centre) The London Guitar Festival The Guildford International Music Festival The Royal Academy of the Arts Piccadilly The Windsor Arts Centre The Brighton Festival The Rhythms of the World Festival

5. Very soon after the beginnings of the collaboration Randolph and Byron realised that a special energy was present in their music. Live shows soon followed along with invitations to perform at festivals across the UK. They have also given a highlight performance at The Royal Albert Hall (Ignite Concert), where they were both humbled to receive a standing ovation from the audience. Below is a video clip from their performance at The Royal Albert Hall

6. Randolph & Byron have just finished recording an album together entitled ‘In The Shadow Of Leaves’ which is shortly due for release.
