If you’re from the Pacific
west there is a good chance that you are familiar with Randy’s
music. A native of southern California, he has been a regularly
featured artist at many different venues, including Forest Home
and Hume Lake Christian Camps for over three decades. Perhaps
you heard his first album, “Tunesmith,” produced in
the 80’s with Dave Hopkins, his longtime pal and musical
partner. Randy’s finger-picking musical style and voice
have often been compared to that of Gordon Lightfoot.
Aside from composing, performing, and leading worship, Dr. Randy
Northrup is also a marriage and family therapist, practicing
in Pasadena. Blending his unusual understanding of the human
heart with his deep love and understanding of the heart of God,
Randy’s music has the ability to bring life to the hearts
of those who listen.
Married for over 25 years, Randy and Robin have three grown
daughters, Sara, Carrie, and Amanda, all living in the Los Angeles
area. They are very active at Lake Avenue Church, both in leadership
and mentoring younger couples, as well as in music.
Randy’s latest collection, “Hearts and Souls,”
has just been released, and is a compilation of 14 original
praise and worship songs, along with some deeply personal and
moving numbers. Whether you are joining Randy in singing one
of his signature praise songs, “You Have Been so Good to
Me,” enjoying the klezmer band in “Mighty Deliverer,”
or humming “Lullaby” to your own child, you will find
hope, encouragement, and the heart of God in all of your circumstances,
which is the message of his music. |
