PERFORMANCE HISTORY
During the mid 70’s, Randy Hansen played professionally
in the Las Vegas style show band called “Kid Chrysler
and the Cruisers”. Within the floorshow, individual band
members developed impersonations of famous rock stars.
Subsequently Hansen created the first Jimi Hendrix Tribute
act, for the reason of love, the music and the people he
sought after keeping Jimi’s music alive.
Hansen breaks new ground in Rock & Roll’s history in 1975,
by pioneering the first Rock Tribute act in the United States
and soon spreads though out the world.
In 1978, while further exploring the Hendrix role, Hansen
formed “Machine Gun”. A tribute to Jimi Hendrix, with a
wig and make-up, the moves perfected and the songs
duplicated note for note. As the transition was complete,
he went on tour opening shows for another young
Northwest band called “Heart”.
Apocalypse Now, Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, hires
Hansen to compose sixteen minutes of guitar and bass
soundtracks depicting machines of war guns and bombs.
The movie won an Academy Award for “Best Sound” in
1980 and ranks number one on the “Top 100 Movie Lists”
by Aaron Caldwell.
During a performance at Seattle’s Paramount Theater,
Hansen was approached backstage by Jimi’s Father Al
Hendrix. Tears in his eyes, Al was so moved by Hansen’s
performance, he called him Jimi.
After selling out L.A.’s Greek Theater in 1979 and per-
forming for seventy five thousand fans at the Oakland
Coliseum, Capitol Records signs Hansen to a six-album
record contact. Hansen released his first solo record,
and went on a national tour.
It was Stevie Ray Vaughan’s hometown, Austin, Texas,
where Vaughan was the hometown favorite entertainer
and Hansen is due on a national tour through town. The
promoter adds Vaughan to the mix giving the fans the
best opening act they ever experienced; two perform-
ances at the Armadillo Headquarters’ and one at the CBS
Ballroom. Consequently, Vaughan and Hansen begin a
lifetime friendship.
Beginning in the 1980’s and on several occasions though
out Hansen’s professional career, band members of
“Band of Gypsy’s” drummer Buddy Miles and Bassist
Billy Cox all came together for many concert tours.

In 1984, the rock band “Devo” approached Hansen to play
Jimi Hendrix in the music video “Are You Experienced”. He
received much praise for his ability to invoke the spirit of
Jimi Hendrix from MTV producer Mark Goodman, who also
had seen Hansen perform in Philadelphia’s Tower Theater.
Hansen’s skill at reproducing the Hendrix sound launches
him on tours with the original band mates from the “Jimi
Hendrix Experience” project, drummer Mitch Mitchell and
bassist Noel Redding.
In the early 90’s, guitarist Leslie West brought comedian
Sam Kinison to see Hansen perform at LA’s Roxy Theater
and this resulted in several tours performing live on stage
with Kinison as well as an HBO special.
In 1991, Jimi Hendrix alumni, Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell,
Buddy Miles, and Noel Redding unite with Hansen, for a
huge celebration in honor of Jimi Hendrix’s birthday.
Former “Scorpions” member, Uli Jon Roth, asked Hansen
in 1991 to perform in a two-hour television special devoted
to Hendrix, with musicians Jack Bruce (Cream), Simon
Phillips (Jeff Beck, Toto) and John Wetton (Asia, King Crimson).

In 2002, longtime friend Nicholas Cage asked Hansen
to act and perform in his directorial debut the movie
“Sunny” starring James Franco, Mena Suvari, Harry
Dean Stanton, and Nicholas Cage. Hansen immediately
accepted traveling to New Orleans for the cameo
appearance, acting and performing his original
composition “Angel Hair Trigger” written for the movie.
Steve Miller honors Hansen by inviting him onstage to
play with the Steve Miller band as well as opening the
show at the Puyallup Fair for thousands of adoring crazy
fans. Puyallup, WA, 2007.
