Store Manager extraordinaire Adam Rayfield is a lifelong music collector—some might even say a little obsessive.

He started his collection at the age of six; in fact, his kindergarten teacher once complained that all Adam wanted to do was sit in the corner and listen to The Beatles and Janis Joplin all day.

Having worked in the music scene since the early ’80s and played in several bands, his knowledge of music rivals even the most seasoned collectors.

His dream of opening an old-school record store aligned perfectly with Ray’s. Both believed there was a real need for a place like Wrong Way—somewhere that puts the music and the vibe first (without losing our shirts).
