“No one comes closer to the spirit of Joni’s music than Robin Adler.” - Max Bennett, bassist with Joni Mitchell 1973 - 76. Robin Adler, and her husband, guitarist Dave Blackburn, have devoted the last 18 years to exploring the fascinating music of the iconic Joni Mitchell, through its many incarnations over the decades. Together with their band, named Mutts of the Planet after a lyric line in one of Mitchell’s songs, Adler and Blackburn have performed six of Joni’s albums in their entirety, and released two albums of their own of original arrangements. Robin is widely known around the world as one of the premier vocalists to perform Joni Mitchell’s work. Joining Robin and Dave will be keyboardist Barnaby Finch and Jim Reeves on bass.
