Adam Rau has been involved in music since childhood. Starting out on guitar and then switching to bass when he found out how cool it was. After performing in high school bands he went on a brief 7 year hiatus to join the Army. When he returned home he picked the bass back up and began performing again around the Michigan area. His passion for music has driven him to work on completing a degree in music and has studied under the principal bassist for the Lansing Symphony Orchestra, and is currently the bassist for the Lansing Community College Jazz Ensemble. He intends to further his study, love of world music and western music theory, and share this wonderful craft and knowledge to others.
