Jonny Barber, Vocals and Guitar - Jonny began playing guitar at the age of 8. As a kid his mother rode him to guitar lessons on the back of her motorcycle, with the guitar bungied to his back.
In 2007, Jonny met doghouse bass player Michael Baird, who introduced him to Willie Lewis, founder of the Rock-A-Billy Record Co. label out of Denver, Colorado. Considered by many to be the "living Sam Phillips", Lewis has been releasing traditional rockabilly records since 1983, including an EP by Jonny's personal favorite rockabilly band, Go Cat Go. Jonny began writing and recording his own original songs for the label, and also played lead guitar on recordings with Willie Lewis.
Along with Jonny's hero, Elvis, Barber's Las Vegas roots run deep. His great, great, great grandfather, Charles Wesley Hubbard, was one of the first white settlers of Southern Nevada. His great grandma, Hortense Evans Nelson, sang for FDR at the dedication of the Hoover Dam. His great uncle Tommy played horn for Liberace. His mom, Phyllis Barber, was a Las Vegas Rhythmette, was recently inducted into the Nevada Writer's Hall of Fame for a Las Vegas memoir, "How I Got Cultured" and a collection of short stories with Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Wolfe and others. She also saw Elvis' first show ever in Las Vegas at the New Frontier Hotel, which prompted further rumors about Jonny's lineage.
In 2008-2009, Jonny played guitar and co-wrote all of the songs for the band MAMA. Guitar God Steve Vai signed MAMA's debut album, Bayoutopia, to Digital Nations, a subsidiary of his Favored Nations label. The release date was March 2, 2010.
When MAMA disbanded due to a lead singer whose warrants in 12 states got the band dropped from a deal with Sony, Jonny went back to his first love: rockabilly music. He scouted all the talent in Denver, found the best chemistry with Symphony Tidwell and Randee McKnight, and the Rhythm Razors were born.
Symphony Tidwell, Bass - To say she man handles the Bass is an understatement. Screaming up from the south, bass blood runs thick through her veins, Heck even her grandma played. With mentors from The Hillbilly Hellcats and Chuck Onofrio, Symphony is quickly becoming one of the most talked about Rockabilly bass players on the scene.
Randee McKnight, Drums - With a thunderous foot and seemingly “locked” shoulders, the grooves he plays can unleash all of your self-control. You get that “pocket” starting at note one. At the very least you get the very best every time. After touring Europe as the drummer for The Hillbilly Hellcats, Randee settled into a groove on the road to everywhere. Showcasing his talents around the US in auditoriums and amphitheaters, he made it to the stages where dreams become reality. Once you make it past all that hair you’ll find a guy that makes it all sound so good and look so easy. With age on his side, for years to come you can rest assured Randee will be there to show you what really makes a rhythm section rock.
With advance sell-out club dates in the Colorado area and countless private events, including playing before a sold-out crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheater, The Rhythm Razors are cuttin' a wide swath across today's rockabilly scene. They played main stage at the 2010 People's Fair in Denver, and also have played the Fillmore Auditorium, Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret, Clive Cussler's Car Museum, Nissi's, Gothic Theatre, Ogden Theater, Bluebird Theater, Skylark Lounge, 3 Kings Tavern, Oriental Theater, and Bender's Tavern.
In October of 2010, The Rhythm Razors are crossing the pond for their first European tour.
