Randy & The Mormons were born in 2019 when lead singer Sam Rochford was asked to participate in Whiskey Jam’s “Sam Jam” a night with only performers named Sam. She’d never played with a full band before so asked members John Paul and Jordan Williams from her Dungeons & Dragons group and Huxley Rittman her coworker at an unnamed Nashville restaurant (no free press) to play with her. It was as if Avril Lavigne (before she was replaced by a clone) and Fountains of Wayne had a baby on stage and that baby knew how to rock.   Since their inception, Randy & The Mormons have garnered a cult following, captivating audiences with their energetic performances, sexy dance moves, and devastating lyrics. They have elaborate inside jokes with their audience such as being a Jimmy Buffett cover band that doesn’t cover his music, being the tallest band in Nashville, and being Mormon. Lead singer Sam Rochford once hosted a house show where so many people came the joists in her floor boards broke. If you’re her old landlord, legally, this is a joke.
