The world-renowned Joni Mitchell tribute band Mutts of the Planet, featuring vocalist Robin Adler, was formed in San Diego in 2006 with the sole purpose of presenting the vast repertoire of Canadian legend Joni Mitchell through its many incarnations across four decades. They have performed around the world and received accolades from audiences far and wide, and the appreciation of Joni herself. The Mutts have performed six of Mitchell’s albums in their entirety and released two of their own original arrangements, and have nearly 60 concert YouTube videos uploaded.
Joni Mitchell’s work grew from her early “solo guitar and voice” appearances into ground-breaking collaborations with some of the top artists in the world, from the worlds of jazz and rock in particular. Appropriately, the full line-up of Mutts of the Planet comprises some of the finest musicians currently playing on the west coast.
