About Zwarte  

South Dakota’s Zwarte’ was formed in 1987 by singer/guitarist Randall Zwart and drummer Bob Zwart. The brothers played  straight-ahead hard rock with a slightly rootsy feel, and when joined by guitarist Eddie Filarecki and bassist Baron Duncam,  released albums like 1999 Zwarte’ IV: We Came Here. Loud American followed a year later. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi  Randall Grant Zwart had a passion for music and a drive to work harder than most. His very first band, Silver Star, played  at the Dell Rapids Sy Mary Prom when he was still in junior high.

Later on, Randall and his brother Bob formed the band  Zwarte. The band was primarily a cover band in the mid-eighties, with a few singers fronting for them. However, everything  changed when Randall began to sing his songs instead of delegating them to other people’s voices. 

In 1992, the debut record, simply titled ZWARTE, was released and became a classic. Fans came to shows in droves, and  Zwarte became a band that the whole Midwest and beyond would come to embrace and enjoy. Zwarte went on to release  another 13 records. In 2015, on the 13th record titled Lucky 13, Randall was awarded the Los Angeles Music Awards (LAMA  AWARDS) for producer’s choice and outstanding TV theme song titled “Take the Ride to Sturgis”.
