Randy Crouch

After his father’s graduation, the family moved away from Dallas in 1954 to his first posting in Garden City, Texas.

His parents provided a diverse musical background including piano lessons and Crouch also started playing ukulele and guitar.

[1] During his freshman year of high school Crouch started playing in a band and has performed music ever since.

As a result of his involvement in the protest, Crouch was blackballed for a time by music promoters in and around Tulsa, although he performed at least 50 "stop Black Fox" events around Oklahoma.

[5] Crouch also represents a variation of The Tulsa Sound and has also been a primary influence on aspiring Oklahoma musicians performing bluegrass, folk, country music, and jam bands.

"[2] Crouch's songs "Big Shot Rich Man" and "Mexican Holiday" have been recorded by Jason Boland & the Stragglers.

As a member of the Vince Herman Trio, Crouch performs with alumni of the jam bands Leftover Salmon and Ekoostik Hookah.
