SMOKEHOUSE PRESS KIT 2015 – THE BAND
Randy Bauer, keyboards, saxophone, and accordion: Randy grew up
in Blackduck, Minnesota, and started playing music at the age of eight. By
the time he was 15 he had made music a full-fledged career. He remembers
having to sit on stage during breaks because he was too young to be in the
club. Out of high school he went on the road full time with several acts,
including Macarthur Park, a funk band out of Washington, D.C. He also
started his own two-piece band called 2’s Company, a show band that
played five-piece rooms. His talent has led him to perform as a member of
several national groups such as The Shirelles, The Coasters, Tommy Roe,
Sha Na Na, and the Drifters just to name a few. He also has provided
production and sound for many national acts, including Gary Allan, Ronnie Milsap, Merle Haggard,
Staind, and many others. His abilities as a composer gave him the opportunity to score the movie
Bemidji Between the Wars 1918-1941. He brings the boogie-woogie funk edge to the Smokehouse
band’s wildly varied sound, allowing them to please a wide variety of musical tastes.
Bob Judnick, bass: Bob began taking acoustic guitar lessons at age 8;
string bass became primary while joining his school orchestra at age 10. He
performed at many weddings and dance clubs with his father’s variety band
from age 14 through high school and college at the University of Minnesota,
Duluth (UMD) as a Music Major. During college he performed concerts with
UMD Jazz Band and Symphony Orchestra before joining Wild Eyes- a band
that would follow or share the stage with Ruby Starr, Flamin’ Oh’s Band and
Metro all Stars. After a break from the road he became a member of Dakota
Crossing with Gregg Aaron Brown- currently a performer/producer in
Nashville Tennessee- to play country music with his house band in Superior,
WI .Dakota Crossing would eventually share the stage with The Beach Boys and Three Dog Night at
Wade Stadium in Duluth, MN. The Wayne Renn Band hired Bob as fill-in bassist in August, 2013March, 2014 touring the Midwest states region, and he is currently bassist in the Smokehouse Band.
Clint Reynolds, drums: My dad made it easy to follow in his musical
footsteps. He was a seasoned musician and vocalist. Yes, Bedazzled Nudy
Suits and Fancy Sockets? Ha-Ha! I was 7 years old the first time I played
on a stage with him. After he got back from Nashville we moved to Wyoming
where I grew up cowboying and guiding in our family’s outfitting business.
After the Navy I was a welder by day and musician by night. I played in
some very popular bands in the upper Midwest: Abandon, Silver Wings,
Trail Blazers, and one of the founding fathers of the band Clear Blue,
Minnesota’s premier country bands. Although my dad’s Bedazzled Nudy
Suits never struck my fancy, being a touring musician sure did.
Smokehouse has given me that opportunity and now I’m playing all over the United States. When
not on stage performing you can find me keeping the fish population in check!!
A.J. Waters, guitars: A.J. hails from Missouri and began playing at the
ripe old age of six, so to say he is a seasoned player is quite an
understatement. A.J. joined the service at the age of 17 and was stationed
in Germany, where he continued to hone his craft until his return to Kansas
City. Enjoying much success with a regional act called Trick Ryder, he got
the opportunity to travel full time, opening for many national acts. Along
the way A.J. met Smokehouse keyboard and saxophone player Randy Bauer,
which led them to pursue the opportunity to join forces. A.J. brings an
awesome vocal talent to the group, including a great country voice, as well
as an unparalleled ability on guitar for the wide variety of musical taste that
makes Smokehouse a band with a niche all their own.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to give you my recommendation on “Smoke House” country and variety music act.
They performed at the Isle Casino Hotel Waterloo in 2010, and I have them booked again in March
of 2011. At each booking, they perform for four hours a night for two nights.
The performances were staged in our Fling lounge located on the casino floor. Musicians performing
in this location are intended to provide background music for players on the casino floor, and
entertainment for guests relaxing in Fling lounge. Smoke House did a wonderful job of this by
tailoring their set list to our demographic, and playing at a sound level appropriate to the
environment. Guests and employees alike commented that they enjoyed the show very much.
Not only did the shows go well, but also the band was great to work with. They were very cooperative
and attentive to the things we asked of them. I would recommend bringing in this music act if you’re
looking for something your guests would enjoy.
If you have any questions or want more information feel free to contact me directly.
Sincerely,
William H. Garrett
Marketing Coordinator
Isle Casino Hotel Waterloo
To Whom It May Concern:
Allow me to introduce myself: I am Suzy Gudenkauf, Co-Owner of the Outlaw Saloon. I have been
with our club over 14 years.
We were introduced to a band by the name of Smokehouse about a year ago. I was a little leery, at
first, about hiring the band. Our club is a country music nightclub and I was afraid that Smokehouse
wouldn't please our crowd. I am writing to tell you I was completely wrong. We have had nothing
but great reviews about the band. We have had them back several times and plan to continue to
have them perform in our club.
The band has even added to their repertoire of music. I am impressed with them as musicians. They
are extreme professionals in every aspect of their work.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the club. I will gladly talk to you about
the Smokehouse Band.
Sincerely,
Suzy Gudenkauf, Co-Owner
Outlaw Saloon
