TenderHoof is an Indie Folk Rock band from the Boston area established in 2023.

Though the band is relatively new as a unit, the players are not.

We take tremendous pride in our diverse, original music, but we LOVE to cover material from the 60's right on through today.

You will see us out in a  variety of formats from a full 5-piece band to a stripped-down or even solo act, as Derek Rando.

Our lineup and collective sound comes together in a unique way that has the dark shaking hands with the optimistic...partly sunny skies with a promise of rain.
