Robert Randolph

Robert Randolph is a rock-blues pedal steel guitar virtuoso whose music blurs the lines between gospel, rock, blues, and soul. Raised in the House of God Church in New Jersey, he first made his mark channeling the ecstatic energy of worship through his instrument—known in his tradition as “Sacred Steel.” Now, with his new album Preacher Kids on Sun Records, Randolph steps into a bold new chapter. Produced by Shooter Jennings, the album features fellow musicians who, like Randolph, are preachers' kids bridging the church and the secular stage. Recorded in LA and Nashville, the project began as jam sessions that evolved into fully formed songs—retaining the spirit and spontaneity of their origins. Known for his GRAMMY-nominated work with The Family Band and collaborations with legends like Eric Clapton, Santana, Norah Jones, and Beyoncé (on the GRAMMY-winning Cowboy Carter), Randolph has also earned 13 Emmys for his work in sports broadcasting and created the theme for Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football. With Preacher Kids, he returns to his roots while pushing the boundaries of where gospel-inspired music can go next.
