Adam Lasher is everywhere. He was born into a family of musicians and grew up inspired by the groove of his uncle Carlos Santana. Adam’s grandfather came from Mexico with his family and they moved to Tijuana and then to San Francisco. Adam’s grandfather was a Mariachi violinist and supported his family playing his violin. He is playing every weekend in clubs on Hollywood, Ventura, Santa Monica and even in high schools events and universities. He performed on a stage outside the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, for Dolores Huerta’s birthday party, in a benefit concert to raise awareness on social issues affecting Latinos.
