Brad Rabuchin’s Hidden Agenda is a band formed to explore his

compositions in an expanded format. Adding 2 more horns and keys to

his core lineup of guitar trio with sax. The resulting seven piece

ensemble ensemble is Brad on guitar & electric sitar plus, Sax,

Trumpet, Bone, acoustic piano, acoustic bass & drums. Hidden Agenda

is no guitar dominated blowfest, but a musical outing accenting the

leader’s compositional sensitivity and the delicate-yet-feisty textures of

a carefully-conceived ensemble.

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.
