Randy Schroeder fell in love with music at a young age. He discovered early in life that he had a natural ear for it when he selected the alto saxophone as his instrument of choice in 5th & 6th grade band. It wasn’t long before his obsession with music resulted in him learning how to play guitar and bass. With this new found love of creating, he was determined to find others who felt that same calling. Soon, his first band was formed, while he was still only a teenager. Throughout his musical career, Randy has played bass for many iconic and well-known Michigan based bands, and has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in punk rock and ska.

Randy loves the experience and camaraderie of writing songs, playing music, recording music and spending time with friends and band mates while doing so. He has particularly fond memories of the many tours he has participated in with bands large and small from all across the country, and he is so excited to be doing it again with Nathan’s Patience!
