Holy crap. It’s the second coming of Eno & Byrne with Tom Verlaine riding shotgun. Boston-based Randy Vera’s hallucinogenic ‘CFA’ is the latest add to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One and this tune will most assuredly carry you through any parts of your next shift that threaten occasional bouts of weirdness. Extremely well-produced and creatively chaotic, ‘CFA’ is a wild romp. Turn it up & enjoy the ride.
Randy Vera is currently recording with 12-time AIAA Gold and Platinum Producer Anthony J. Resta (Twilight Films Soundtrack, Elton John, Collective Soul). His style is influenced by a Masters in Philosophy from Boston College, and his music training from the Longy School at Harvard Square. Writing in the Folk, RnB, Rock, and Jazz genres, Randy has released 4 full-length albums, and his songs receive regular radio play on WMFO FM and WZBC FM in Boston. His music has also been featured on ESPN and PBS (WGBH) TV productions, and more.
Randy Vera’s song “Bug Dialogue” is being featured in a film about surfing. In 2001, he was recognized by his college friend Paul Stanton in his film “On the Line” (Miramax), where he was the inspiration for one of the main characters portrayed by none other than N’ Sync’s Joey Fatone.
“Through music, and being around this small entertainment community in Boston, I got lucky and was booked in the Mark Wahlberg film “The Fighter.” I was only paid background, I literally held a door in a shot, but thanks to Mark Wahlberg and Boston Casting, I had an awesome experience, and have worked on a bunch more films. I worked on Mark Wahlberg’s new film “Ted,” in a bigger role, due out 2013, and have made innroads with Music Directors. It’s there that I got the best advice on production and writing music for film.
“I have three daughters. They are my life. I have over 150 songs now, and more poems than I care to count. I try to get better at music every day. I gig two nights a week around Boston these days. I’m the Musician in Residence at a venue called “The Snug” in Hingham, MA. I’ve been playing every Wednesday night at the Snug for three years now, keeping sharp. I’m greatful I get to do what I love.”
