COUNTRY BAND FEATURED IN DISNEY’S
‘RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN’
GROUP PERFORMING EXTENSIVELY IN LOS ANGELES AREA
BROKEDOWN CADILLAC was invited to be a part of Race To Witch Mountain by director Andy Fickman. “Working on Race to Witch Mountain, we had this overwhelming feeling every day that we were part of something really big,” Corri says. “We all grew up watching the original Witch Mountain movies, so Randy and I were looking at each other going, ‘how on earth did our music get us here?’ It was really special, and the director, Andy Fickman, made us feel really great about our music being a part of the experience. Appearing onscreen with Dwayne Johnson was a nice little bonus too.”
The L.A.-based band was formed three years ago when Randy’s acoustic project Radio Flyer was performing their regular residency show, and Corri (a film and television actress who’s appeared in the movies Runaway Jury, Unrest and on shows including “Without A Trace,” “CSI Miami” and “Bedford Diaries”) walked in. As the night–and her courage–progressed, Corri took the stage to sing Pink’s “Just Like a Pill” and really impressed Randy. When his Radio Flyer partner landed a gig on a Broadway tour, Corri was thrilled to team up with Randy.
Soon after joining together, BROKEDOWN CADILLAC discovered their “sound”: Corri would be the lead singer, with Randy accompanying her in harmony and counter melody. The two went straight to work writing over two dozen songs and recently recording a four-song EP in Atlanta with vocal producer Jan Smith (Rob Thomas, Usher, TLC, India Arie, Ciara, Collective Soul).
BROKEDOWN CADILLAC’s music—all written by Corri (an Atlanta native) and Randy (raised in Northern California)–shines on the newly recorded tracks like “Baby’s Gonna Start A Fire,” “Big City,” “Tearing Up This Town” and “Run To You Madly.”
BROKEDOWN CADILLAC–rounded out by drummer Danny Reuland, lead guitarist Don Ian and bassist Jeff LeGore–performs extensively in the Los Angeles area, with upcoming shows also booked for Bakersfield, Palmdale, San Diego, and Orange County.
