Randal Arsenault

"Someday I know I'll be travellin to my grave. When I die, please don't cry, cause I'll be rockin rollin all the way" (from the single: Rock & Roll to My Grave)

Singer/songwriter Randal Arsenault's new single is old school, raw and real, and hinting to the past. Inspired by his vintage acoustic guitar, a number of songs came to life, including the first single released ‘Rock and Roll To My Grave’ which was started over 15 years ago. “I always loved the song but I never felt I had enough miles on me to sing it” says Randal, “I feel my old guitar is taking me on a journey back in time, literally and figuratively”.

Randal gathered long time friends to work on a new album: Murray Pulver (producer/guitars – Bros. Landreth, Doc Walker), Justin Kudding (bass – Brett Kissel Band), Darryl Swart (drums – Tree63), and Brendan Waters (piano/keys). They recorded live off the floor, with little to no overdubs, and no auto-tune - 'old school'.

Randal is also the lead singer of the folk/world band Dr. Zoo and has toured Japan, UK, South Africa, and Canada, and released 4 CD’s nominated for 2015 and 2009 East Coast Music Awards, 2009, 2006, and 2003 Music Newfoundland Awards, and 2003 Canadian Songwriting Awards.

Rock & Roll to My Grave is Randal's first solo single, with the album to be released March 2018. “This is a personal musical journey embracing mortality, love of life and music”, says Randal from his home in Alberta. "I recently had a health scare. I am fine and when life tries to knock me down, I make music".
