In 2012 Randy formed Hop City Hellcats to explore more avenues of expression.  Being a little more “electric”, Hop City became another voice with which to write. Once described as “half-way between classic Cash and Dwight Yoakum “in style, most comfortable with an acoustic guitar in hand but, having a different array of backing instrumentation to play with, his songwriting opened up to more styles.  Leaning into his musical tastes of blues, traditional and outlaw country, rock and rockabilly he set out to be the storyteller he always wanted to be.
