THE ULTIMATE HENDRIX EXPERIENCE

Over the past decades, American guitarist and singer Randy Hansen has earned a reputation as one of the world’s finest interpreters of Jimi Hendrix. The string virtuoso is also one of the very few artists to be officially recognised by the Hendrix family. As part of his “Tribute To Jimi Hendrix – European Tour 2026”, Randy Hansen brings the spirit of the influential guitar legend back to life at Z7 with his passionate performance.

Since Jimi Hendrix’s death in 1970, countless musicians have attempted to recreate his music as faithfully as possible. For a long time, however, no one truly managed to capture both the musical essence and the electrifying stage presence of this exceptional artist in an authentic way. Then, in the 1980s, a musician from Hendrix’s hometown of Seattle emerged who stood out from the masses of Hendrix imitators and was genuinely able to reproduce Jimi’s unique guitar sounds with astonishing accuracy: Randy Hansen. And that’s not all – when Hansen sings, it feels as if you are hearing Jimi’s voice itself. Randy Hansen has absorbed Hendrix down to the finest detail and breathes new life into the spirit of this extraordinary musician. It comes as no surprise that music magazines and critics around the world have dubbed him the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix.

Hansen first heard the Hendrix debut album Are You Experienced at the age of twelve. His determination to master Jimi’s extraordinary feedback sounds would go on to shape his entire life. Through years of hard work and relentless refinement of his craft, he has earned the reputation of a world-class guitar hero who creates sonic landscapes with unbridled passion, all infused with the spirit of Jimi Hendrix. Over the course of his long career, Hansen has played with many greats of the music world, including Paul Rodgers, Sammy Hagar, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Cray, as well as former Hendrix bandmates Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell and Buddy Miles. During his explosive tribute shows, this bundle of energy storms across the stage like a dervish, delivering a Hendrix experience of the highest calibre.
