Adam Rafferty (a.k.a. “Raf”) has played as a first-call guitarist with the greatest musicians on the planet at countless music festivals (US and Europe), concert halls with Dr. Lonnie Smith, The Dizzy Gillespie Big Band, L.A. Studio legend Bennie Wallace, bassist Bob Cranshaw from the original Saturday Night Live band, to name a few. Among Adam’s musical innovations is the ability to play two simultanoeous melodies on the guitar and do hip-hop flavored “human beatbox” with his mouth at the same time.

Some say that hIs solo version of Herbie Hancock’s Chameleon sounds like the “guitarist with three heads”. It has to be heard to be believed. His solo versions of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean and Stevie Wonder’s Superstition are his most popular and requested songs and can be heard on YouTube as well. Basslines, horn parts and vocals are replicated and the groove will make you jump out of your seat.
