Rafael Tranquilino is known locally in the Seattle area as the lead frontman and guitarist of his band, The Rafael Tranquilino Band. A power trio consisting of guitar, bass, and drums that fuse rock, blues, and funk with an alternative and fresh sound. He’ll play a searing riff, tease you with an old-fashioned Delta slide and then bring you back down with his powerful lyrics.

Rafael's exciting style and notable chops have earned him the reputation of being one of the "hottest" young guitar slingers in the Pacific Northwest and his band was noted as “Best Blues Band of 2012” in the Tacoma Weekly.

Some of his major influences include guitarists such as Slash, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Carlos Santana, Steve Vai, Jimmy Page, Richie Blackmore, Sonny Landreth and Warren Haynes.

Rafael has called his style of music alternative/blues/rock, music that will rock your heart & soul! The music he plays is to rock your heart & soul- to expand your awareness.
