Randle Chowning

From a very early age Chowning was surrounded by electric guitars and amplifiers in his father’s TV and radio shop.

In 1960 Randle and his family moved to Springfield, Missouri where the Ozark Jubilee country music show was in its heyday.

In the mid 90s, Chowning moved to Nashville, Tennessee and ultimately teamed up with Ozark Mountain Daredevils co-founder Larry Lee in 2005 to release Beyond Reach, a collection of pop originals backed by some of Nashville’s most versatile studio musicians.

In March 2015, Randle Chowning and Larry Lee were inducted into the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame, receiving the coveted Quill Award.
