Guitarists Allen Hinds and Brad Rabuchin bring their “Held to a Different Standard” to Alvas.

Allen has a touch that most guitarists would kill for. Growing up in Auburn, Alabama and utilizing influences ranging from Wayne Shorter to the Beatles, Duane Allman to Allan Holdsworth, his style is exciting and eclectic. Besides his own C.D.s Allen has performed and/or recorded with jazz and R&B luminaries including Randy Crawford, Gino Vannelli, Patti Austin, Roberta Flack, BeBe & CeCe Winan, The Crusaders, Bobby Caldwell, James Ingram, many others.

Brad 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. 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. Brad also spent 5 years and toured 6 continents as the last guitarist with Ray Charles . All the while, though, Rabuchin has also been honing his own unique musical voice, just left of center....

Allen’s gift for melodic turns of a phrase Brad’s knack for unexpected lines and textures add up to much more then just a 2 guitar blow-fest.
Joining them is the magical rhythm section of Tim Landers-bass & Chris Wabich-drums..
