Ted s Jam plays.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the recording of Robert Randolph and the Family Band s Live at the Wetlands. You kind of forget that it s been 20 years, Randolph reflected. That was the beginning of our career, and we didn t even know what we were doing at the time. We were just playing jams. It just turns out that it became such a magical night.
The March plays. I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, Randolph said. My church was in the next town over in Orange, NJ. My church is a very musical church with pedal steel, guitars, bass, and drums. That s where me and most kids growing up in church get that love for music. You just want to be like the older guys who you grew up watching and idolizing. As I got older after becoming the sort of church star, then you want to go out and see how to grow in terms of songwriting, playing, arranging, and so forth.
