Band Bio

Robin Adler and Dave Blackburn THE SONGS OF JONI MITCHELL 2025

Vocalist Robin Adler, and guitarist Dave Blackburn, are in their 20th year of performing a show based entirely around the music of the legendary Canadian songwriter, Joni Mitchell. Mitchell’s long and broad career has provided fertile ground for them to create, often with their band Mutts of the Planet, fascinating shows around Southern California that draw from all of Joni Mitchell’s many artistic periods. In addition, they often discuss the backstories behind the songs, which has always been popular with their audiences.

Robin Adler is a highly respected jazz vocalist, and has performed with some of the top musicians in the San Diego area. She has many fans around the world who have been captivated by her smooth and natural delivery.

Dave Blackburn, Robin’s husband, grew up in the UK in the 70s, and has been a lifelong professional guitarist, drummer, composer, producer, and music teacher. He made his home in San Diego in 1981 and has developed a signature guitar style that is admired among his peers.

Dave and Robin have been making music together since 1990, 35 years as of 2025.
Together with their band Mutts of the Planet, they have almost 60 live concert YouTube videos to be viewed. These often garner high praise from diehard Joni Mitchell fans around the world who are skeptical of any substitutes.
