Guitarist and singer Adam Kirtley crawled out of a cornfield in central Indiana before making his way to Walla Walla, where he serves as the Interfaith Chaplain of Whitman College. Living in Scotland in his early twenties, he was influenced by traditional Celtic pub music and went on to release two albums as a solo artist. Shortly after he arrived in WA, he hooked up with Jerry Yokel to form The Rogues, an Irish Pub band.  In the fall of 2013, he called a jam session with a few musical friends who'd not played with each other before.  They booked their first gig as Rogue Lobster a couple of months later.
