The Band
The Hotrods are a group of players that have been around the Quad Cities for a while. Originally founded by Richie Reeves in 2014. Most of us have played for over 40 years in the local music scene. Following our passion of 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s Rock and Roll Music. There is no rule that says we can’t hand pick a song or two from the other decades, because a good song is, well, a good song.
Members are:
- Kirk Hakanson – Bass
- Jay Hakanson – Guitar and Keyboards
- Kevin Oppendike – Drums
- Bruce Hunt – Guitar
- Alan Knapper – Trumpet
- Bruce Bogen – Trombone
