The Wedded Bliss is a labour of love for singer/songwriter Randall-Blair. The band places its faith in the holy trinity of music – blues, country & jazz – and delivers it in an intimate & acoustic setting.
His songs blend old school country, blues & swing with the skewered sensibilities of a modern troubadour. He weaves honest tales of love, drunkenness, poverty, desire, faith & hope.
After appearing as a busking finalist at the 2004 Tamworth Country Music Festival, he formed the Wedded Bliss. Since then, he has performed solo & band shows at events such as:
The National Folk Festival 2009, Corinbank 2009, Multicultural Fringe Festival 2009, The Australian Festival Of Blues Music 2009 (Goulburn), The 2007 Canberra Multicultural Festival, ‘Music at the Creek 2005/06’ - The Major's Creek Folk Festival, The ‘2006 Weereewa Festival of Lake George’, Canberra's Multicultural Fringe Festival (04/05), IndyFest (04/05/06).
The band has also played countless pubs gigs and supports with acts like Lior, The Kill Devil Hills, Conway Savage (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds), The Angels, Lloyd Spiegel, Maurice Frawley & the Yard Hands, King Curly, Gina Villalobos (USA) and Mad Violet (Canada).

About this track...
This is a song in which the narrator tells the audience to stop complaining & get on with it. It's basically an optimistic song clothed in a 'cheeky tag' line. Lots of banjo, mandolin & acoustic guitar.
