With over 1.5 million downloads, the Grammy-nominated rock band Gov't Mule is legendary, and now two of its members have formed a new adventure: Planet of the Abts (POA). Each player highly-accredited in his own right, POA combines three powerful and extraordinary musicians: Gov't Mule's renowned drummer Matt Abts, bassist Jorgen Carlsson, also of Gov't Mule, and guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist T-Bone Andersson. In June 2011, POA performed their much anticipated debut show in Los Angeles and released an advance copy, limited edition CD recorded by acclaimed British engineer Steve Holroyd. With Pink Floydish shimmering soundscapes to full-throttle rock and roll that combines the raw power of the Stooges with Electric Ladyland musicianship, POA's studio recordings take the listener on a musical journey. The band’s live shows have proven that they sound just as powerful and multi-layered in the flesh as they do on record.
Randy Robbins is an acoustic folk-rock singer/songwriter whose beautifully-crafted original songs carry the essence and heart of the 1960s. When Randy shares his music, listeners know they're experiencing something special. He is often referred to by fans as, "The reincarnation of John Lennon" not only for his uncanny physical resemblance to the legendary Beatle, but because of his gifted song-writing ability and uplifting live performances that have been winning the hearts of audiences throughout New England where he resides and beyond.
