Cherry Suede

A shared interest has been the start of uncounted relationships. In the case of Randy Scott and Randy Young of Cherry Suede, the love of music and being a fan is at the core of how they look at their band. They were fans of pop and rock giants like the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, and Tom Petty before they were musicians, and they know how important connections to performers can be. These connections can change lives. Maybe it’s a small change like smiling when you hear a chorus, or maybe it’s something bigger, like the power some songs have that can carry you through a tough time.
