Randy Hansen (usa) plays the music of Jimi Hendrix

On May 5, 2026 at Spirit of 66 Verviers, Randy Hansen brings Jimi Hendrix’s repertoire to life with the experience of a guitarist who has devoted his career to that music. A fixture on the guitar scene since the late 1970s, the American claims a direct link to Hendrix’s legacy: a tight trio, a raw sound and interpretations that favour playing and improvisation over note-for-note copying. With a Strat slung over his shoulder and fuzz, wah and Univibe at his fingertips, he revisits those electric textures, the gritty saturation and the way of shaping feedback that made Voodoo Child’s signature.

On stage, Hansen navigates between expected classics and less frequently played tracks, strings together rock, blues and funk grooves, and stretches themes without losing the thread. The set lives in the present, carried by a compact rhythm section and solos that breathe, between tension and release. For those who want to hear Hendrix’s music in a live, organic setting, this date at Spirit of 66 Verviers promises an evening where the energy of the trio meets the freedom of the repertoire, without unnecessary effects, with the sound and attitude to match.
