Among today’s great vocal pop musicians, Kenny Vance and The Planotones have voices of original and inviting dimension. The group, Kenny Vance (the founding member of “Jay and the Americans” who sang with the group for their 11 year history), Johnny Gale, Kurt “Frenchy” Yahjian, Jimmy Bense, 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. With their cool and sultry musical approach, they give a gift to those who are discovering them for the first time and joy to those who experienced the sound in their youth.
