Randy Steele and High Cold Wind

For this session from the studio in the Chattanooga Public Library, our guests are Randy Steele and High Cold Wind. Randy plays banjo and guitar and he is the singer. With him is multiple State, multiple instrumental contest Champion and well-known teacher John Boulware playing mandolin and Slim Pickins Bluegrass’ own Justin Hupp on the upright bass.

As they told me after the session, these guys make music first for its own sake and also because they enjoy each other’s company—listening to this session that is immediately apparent. This is Randy Steele and High Cold Wind.

Richard Winham joined WUTC five years after the station began broadcasting to the Chattanooga area and the Tennessee Valley - retiring in June 2025, returning in 2026 to host a weekly show on Saturdays.
