Randy Hansen, born December 8, 1954 in Seattle, Washington, is an American guitarist best known for his long‑running rock tribute dedicated to the music and spirit of Jimi Hendrix. His shows often feature the trademark Hendrix theatrics, including playing the guitar with his teeth or behind his back, delivered with a level of skill that has earned him international recognition. Hansen contributed seventeen minutes of music to the soundtrack of Apocalypse Now, the 1979 film that went on to win the Academy Award for Best Sound. His self‑titled debut album was released in 1980 on Capitol Records and recorded at the Automatt Studios in San Francisco, featuring Scott Rosburg on bass and vocals and Charles Tapp on drums and vocals. This lineup toured across North America, sharing stages with major acts such as Bob Seger, Sammy Hagar, REO Speedwagon, Head East, Triumph, Poco, and Blue Öyster Cult, including several large coliseum shows. Today, Hansen remains one of the most respected interpreters of Hendrix’s legacy, combining technical mastery with a deep understanding of the music that inspired him.
