My dad's Rockabilly band from the 1950's, Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats. One of the few integrated Rockabilly bands, with Big Al Downing on piano and Vernon Sandusky on guitar. The Poe Kats were Wanda Jackson's first Rock 'n' Roll/Rockabilly touring and recording band, playing on "Let's Have A Party".
First, go see #TheLifeofChuck on the big screen. Next, pre-order a copy from Amazon. Then, let me know if you catch my dad's music in the film!

A song my dad wrote and recorded with his 1950's Rockabilly band was included in the fabulous new movie "The Life of Chuck". The song is Rock N Roll Boogie (DJ Spinowitz Remix).

In what universe does a song from the 1950's performed by my dad's band Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats end up in the amazing new film "The Life of Chuck"? Why, this universe of course!

The song is called Rock N Roll Boogie, with The Math Club x Kansoma Music ft DJ Spinowitz doing a 21st Century Remix.

Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats circa 1956. (L-R): Big Al Downing - piano, lead/backing vocals; Vernon Sandusky - lead guitar, backing vocals (notice Vernon's iconic Fender Stratocaster, one of the first ones made); Joe Brawley - drums; and Bobby Poe Sr - lead vocals (my dad's guitar was just for show).

Periodically, I meet new Rush fans who ask me how I know the band. I was there almost from the beginning, and amazingly, we are still in touch. You'll see my name on 2 of their albums, I'm in a documentary about them, & you can see me as a cartoon (no, really) in Fantoons Spirit of Radio video.
