Explore every episode of the podcast All About 1950's Rockabilly Rocker Bobby Poe

Bobby Poe built The Chartbusters around two constants - lead guitarist Vernon Sandusky and bassist Johnny Dubas - while the roster shifted around them. This Episode traces the band through every iteration: the founding four piece; the guitar changes of 1965 and 1966; the drum-chair turnover; and what it meant that only Vernon and Johnny were there from start to finish. With a Billboard Singles Chart #33 hit during The British Invasion, co-headline billing with The Animals at the Paramount in NYC and a legacy that eventually reached Tom Hanks, this is the story of how Bobby Poe managed a band that never held a fixed shape.

A Rockabilly pioneer from Vinita, Oklahoma who recorded under two names, toured with and had his band record with the Queen of Rockabilly, and built an industry institution - only to have his 1958 recording played over 300,000 times on Spotify because of a hit TV series.
