Biography of the WestSound Band:

Westsound Band was formed many years ago by three brothers,Randy, Oscar,and Cecil Weston. They originally started with Gospel and continues singing gospel.They have performed locally and abroad. Randy,the band leader has many years of experience performing as a musician with bands, and individually. He’s played on cruise ships and traveled on the road with bands playing the hotel circuit.

Randy moved back home some years ago and formed the group “United Souls”. Keeping the family dream alive, Randy formed WestSound,which derives from their last name ”Weston”. The band is made up of three brothers, Randy, Oscar, and Cecil, plus female singer, Regina Duke. Regina adds great sound and energy to the band with her commanding presence. Although not a natural family member, she is like a sister. Oscar works the crowd as a true performer does,interacting with the crowd as he walks around with his guitar and cordless microphone table to table, singing Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke. Cecil keeps the beat alive playing the drums, leading songs, and
singing harmonies. You really have to watch him because you don’t know what he’s going to do from one show to the next.

Westsound has performed in the Indiana Black Expo, Goombay, Harambee, Belechere, Eden Fest, Leaf Festival, most local and some out of town venues,and at many private functions from weddings to holiday parties. Westsound has become one of Asheville’s hottest bands because of their vocals and their showmanship.
