During August 2019, John Rafferty traveled to a recording studio in Toronto, Canada to record soundtracks for his first Christmas CD. In this preview, he demonstrates classical guitar techniques including the tremolo and triplets.

In honor of his late wife, Robin Rafferty, John began two creative philanthropic projects. Since Robin and John were active members and contributors to North Shore Community College Foundation, his first philanthropic gift was naming North Shore Community College Foundation as beneficiaries to a Life Insurance Policy. John, photographed with his life insurance agents Patrick Prendiville and Cindy Laing, completed the paperwork for his generous gift on June 20, 2026.
