Among today's great vocal pop musicians, Kenny Vance and The Planotones have voices of original and inviting dimension. The group, Kenny Vance, Angel Rissoff, Kurt "Frenchy" Yahjian, Johnny Gale, keyboardist Chip Degaard and Tony Gallino on Drums, redefine oldies with vocal authority and freshness. As exemplified by their signature song "Looking For An Echo", their material is influenced by the music of the 50's and 60's, but they consistently bring a unique and musically sophisticated point of view. In this sense they are classicists, opening the eyes of a new generation to a rich historical musical style. With their cool and sultry musical approach, filtered through a Brooklyn vibe, they give a gift to those who are discovering them for the first time! I've been following this group for a few years now and have gone to many of there concerts. Tonight it's a free ouydoors in Fort Lee NJ
