    The Haymakers

    Randy Volin

    Lead Guitar / Vocals

    On stage and in the recording studio, Randy Volin is the consummate lead guitarist and musical director. His style encompasses blues, rock 'n' roll and country into a roots style that is all his own. From Detroit and now a fixture on the L.A. scene, he's perhaps best knows for the exquisite vintage tone from his carefully curated collection of historic guitars and amplifiers. Randy was a founding member of Detroit local legends, The Look, who were one of the first bands featured on the new video channel MTV in 1981. In addition to leading The Haymakers, Randy also leads his own blues band, Randy Volin and The Hard Ones, who play regularly in Southern California and recently released the album, "Detroit Thang."

    Simon Runge

    Drums

    Simon was born and raised in Sweden and came to L.A. in the late '90s and quickly established himself as a premier drummer in the L.A. roots scene, touring with L.A. legend Randy Weeks and playing and recording with Fairbanks before joining the Haymakers.
