Bio


Adam began playing music by ear at the age of 12. His early influences were the blues and indie rock. Inspired by his high school music teacher, Adam developed an interest in improvised music in his teens, and by the age of 16 he was playing music professionally throughout the New England Area. In 2001 Adam enrolled at Berklee College of Music on scholarship. While at Berklee he was taught by world-class musicians including Joe Lovano, Hal Crook and Mick Goodrick. Under their guidance he received many awards during his tenure at Berklee for outstanding performance and musicianship.

In 2005 Adam moved to Nashville, TN where he quickly became involved in the city’s abundant music scene. Nashville proved to be a good decision for Adam as it allowed him to pursue many facets of the industry— including work in the studio and television, touring, and teaching. Despite this success, Adam decided to leave the comfort of Tennessee in 2011 for the fast-pace pulse of New York City. He immediately began playing with several local artists and bands, as well as delving into writing/development for many up-and-coming acts.

Adam has had the pleasure to share the stage and or studio with many wonderful artists and musicians such as Marcus Miller, Ludacris, Lalah Hathaway, Archie Shepp, Marc Broussard, Phil Wilson, Mary Mary, Angie Stone, James Genus, Ronnie Laws, Keith Carlock, Larry Graham, Omar Hakim, Derrek Phillips, Mikki Ekko, Jeff Coffin, Eric Roberson, Adam Nitti, Marcus Finnie, Alice and the Glass Lake, and The Loudhorns. He has played at venues and festivals such as The North Sea Jazz Festival, Bonnaroo Music Festival, The Montreux Jazz Festival, The Ryman Auditorium, Moscow House of Music, The Jakarta Jazz Festival, The NCAA Final Four Big Dance Concert Series, Turner Field, Angel Stadium, Billboard Live, Red Bull Sound Stage, Beat Bash, Scarface Re-Release party, Oslo Live and many others. Adam was the guitarist in the house band for the reality series 'Nashville' on Fox. He was Miley Cyrus’ guitar tutor during the filming of the Hannah Montana Movie. He has also performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Adam Agati has accomplished a lot in his young music career. His deep knowledge of history, his interest in many genres, and his authentic lyrical writing style have helped him to develop a unique and compelling sound. It is clear that Adam is a growing voice in the music community, commanding attention through his writing and playing as both a sideman and a leader.

Robben Ford (Guitar); Michael Landau (Guitar); Jimmy Haslip (Bass); Gary Novak (Drums) With engineering and production legend Ed Cherney (Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan) at the helm, Renegade Creation, featuring guitar greats Robben Ford and Michael Landau, bassist Jimmy Haslip and drummer Gary Novak, re-entered the studio to record Bullet, the super-charged follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2010 debut. Delivering a set of rootsy, blues/rock vocal tunes, the band draws on the unique guitar interplay between guitar giants Robben Ford and Michael Landau who inspire each other to new personal bests. Bullet is a guitar tour de force riding on the fierce rhythmic foundation of bassist Jimmy Haslip and drummer Gary Novak - one of the finest rhythm sections around. Renegade Creation brings to mind the essence of classic Blues Rock crossed with hypnotic vocal melodies and a touch of the adventurous sophistication of fusion, allowing each player’s phenomenal abilities to shine. The well-arranged compositions on Bullet, while brimming with fantastic soloing, exhibit a synergy rarely heard in music today. Demanding repeated listening, Bullet is guaranteed to remain on heavy rotation in any fans playlist. Michael Landau is a renowned session guitarist and solo artist who has played on albums since the early 1980s by such notable artists as Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Richard Marx, Joni Mitchell, Steve Perry, Seal, James Taylor, Laura Branigan and many others. Robben Ford began his recording career in the ‘70’s with the Charles Ford Band, a blues band with his highly musical siblings. As Robben progressed more as a player he delved deeper into Jazz, joining Tom Scott’s band in 1974. After more than 30 years as a solo artist, Ford is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists in the world. Jimmy Haslip is an in demand bassist and record producer, known by many fusion fans as a founding member of the pioneering fusion group, “Yellowjackets.” He was one of the first high profile players to routinely use a 5-string electric bass. Haslip has worked with many notable artists, including Tommy Bolin, Marty Friedman, Bruce Hornsby, Gino Vannelli, Allan Holdsworth, Chaka Khan, Donald Fagen and Anita Baker. He continues to be one of the most in demand bassists in the industry. Gary Novak was born into a musical household and began drumming at age eight. After years of studying and working as a drummer he landed a gig with George Benson and subsequently joined Chick Corea’s band. He has also toured with many highly acclaimed musicians including Bob Berg and Allan Holdsworth.
