Toleman Randall

Overview

Charlotte, North Carolina’s Toleman Randall was born out of the rich pool of young musicians living in Cotswold in the early 1990’s. Grant Funderburk, original member and current songwriter and guitarist, revived the name in 2012. In its present form, Toleman Randall harnesses the musical talents and experiences of its members to produce their own brand of indie rock. Grant’s songs rise to scientific subjects like cosmic forces and return to more earthly themes including love, loss, and relationships. Funderburk expresses these concepts in original songs with influences from Mark Knopfler, J.J. Cale, and David Gilmour, to name a few. Grant, Kyle Dussault Carinelli (keyboards), John Licare (bass), and Charlie Heard (drums) have been members in other noteworthy Queen City bands such as Sea of Cortez, Raised by Wolves, Abe Reid and The Spikedrivers, The Noises Ten, The Houstons, and The Virginia Reel.
