Hot Action Cop

Hot Action Cop is an American rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. Long Island, New York native Rob Werthner formed the band in 2001 with bassist Luis Espaillat, drummer Kory Knipp, and guitarist Tim Flaherty, and added keyboardist Daniel Feese in 2002 prior to the tour to support their self-titled debut album. They are known for their hit single "Fever for the Flava". Knipp left in December 2003, but remained friends with the band, subbing in on drums when needed, and rejoined in 2011. Espaillat left in 2006 to pursue other musical ventures. He continues to be an in-demand session bassist in Nashville, and is currently the touring bassist for country singer Trace Adkins. Bass guitarist, Juan Chavolla, joined in 2008, and after playing for several years without a keyboardist, multi-instrumentalist Brian Smith, a long-time friend of Werthner's, joined in 2012.
