Band Bios
Randy Ladd (Lead Vocals)
Randy grew-up listening to rock bands from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s including bands like Skynerd, Hagar, Sublime, STP and Pearl Jam. “I’ve been very lucky to be able to play with some great musicians over the past 10 years. The current line-up is no exception, this is the strongest band, musically that I have ever been part of.” Randy has been in several Northeast Ohio bands including Broadcast, Blind Fish, Lock 4 and now Wounded Hand. Playing in front of a big crowd is what it is all about for me. Playing for people who know your music and respond to what you are playing is the reason I am doing this.
Greg Reed (Lead Guitar)
Greg's influences began with the 70's rock with Kiss, Rush and Black Sabbath. His guitar influences were of Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and Creed. Greg began his first band with the 80's cover band "Deceiver" from Akron. After a short time off he began playing with "Blindfish" a 90's alternative band. Greg now plays lead guitar for one of the best cover bands in Northeast Ohio with Lock 4. Greg has always been a huge fan of Stone Temple Pilots, so when Lock 4 found an alter ego with Wounded Hand ( A Tribute to Stone Temple Pilots), it was a no-brainer. Greg enjoys the peace and quiet of Canal Fulton with his wife Maureen, daughter Alyssa, and son Nathan. Greg loves the challenge of finding that perfect sound.

Playing, writing, and recording music has been a passion for this self-taught guitar player for many years.

Getting started around campus at Ohio State University as part of the Scream-A-Long with Jimmy Lee and D duo he developed a taste for entertaining and hasn't stopped. "My influences range from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Stevie Wonder, and from Funk to Punk! I love the blues but any soulful music with a groove can hook me." he stated in a recent interview. He adds rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar and back up vocals to Wounded Hand's line up.
