The resulting seven piece ensemble ensemble is Brad on guitar & electric sitar plus, Sax, Trumpet, Bone, acoustic piano, acoustic bass & drums.

Brad Rabuchin is a LA based guitarist who now splits time between leading his own band and a successful career as a sideman. Some of Brads’ credits include: Bonnie Rait, Roy Hardgrove, Louie Bellson, Pat Martino, Steve Turre, Al Kooper, Steve Wonder, Buddy Miles, Lean-to, Diane Shurr, David “Fathead” Newman, Willie Nelson and even Mr. Tom Jones. He also spent 5 years and toured 6 continents as the last guitarist with Ray Charles. Brad has also Toured Japan 3 times under his own name and recently played at both the Rocky Mountain Archtop Festival and the Central Coast Jazz Guitar Festival. All the while, though, Rabuchin has also been honing his own unique musical voice, just left of center. Guitarist Rabuchin is not one to paint by the numbers, musically speaking, or play by a given set of rules. That much is clear on his 2 solo albums “When Smart Dogs Go Bad” and “ Cats Have Edge” .They are jazz albums with liberal doses of other, mutually compatible influences, from rock to funk to ethereal aesthetics, and back. He also has 2 albums out for 2021: “For John” a guitar duo project with David Becker, and “Held to a Different Standard” a quartet project with guitarist Allen Hinds.
