Internationally recognized artist Alexandra-G unveils “Angel MT Robison,” her newest painting in a series of earth-bound Angels.

London based, Alexandra-G, gifted artist and former runway model (still gorgeous!) and MT Robison, talented musician and songwriter, with a Hillbilly-Urban sound from the USA, are an unlikely pair to say the least.

But magic happened when the two strangers from across the pond were featured together on the popular website, Artists Exposed.

Alexandra took notice of MT's rugged but charming looks and then fell in love with his music. She contacted his manager for permission and photos to use as references for her painting.

When MT visited her website to see her work, he too fell in love and was "blown away" and honored that Alexandra-G was inspired to paint him as an "earth Angel."

High-quality prints of the stunning and almost life-size full-length oil painting of MT can be purchased on her website.

Robison, band to headline Grubstake entertainment
Published: Saturday, May 9, 2009 1:32 AM CDT
YUCCA VALLEY — Desert blues band M.T. Robison and the Messengerswill headline the Grubstake Days Community Fair entertainment May 23 on the Yucca Valley Community Center soccer fields.

The band will play 5 to 7 p.m. on the community stage.

Robison has formed bands that opened for Vixen, Great White, Blue Oyster Cult and other well-known musical acts.

M.T. Robison and the Messengers recently released the album “Promise.” In April, they were in the top 20 on the MySpace Music Top Artist charts in the Americana, blues and Southern rock genres.

The community music stage opens at noon with music from the Z107.7-FM mobile DJ. After the chamber of commerce gives out Grubstake Days Parade awards at 1 p.m., a lineup of live entertainment begins.

MT Robison & The Messengers recently performed at the Relay For Life, a national event to raise awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society.

"We were honored to be a part of this event," said Robison, "where people come together in communities across the nation to remember loved ones who have lost their lives to cancer, to celebrate the lives of those who have survived, and to encourage and support those who are battling cancer in their lives right now. Oh yes, the Angels were there..."

Robison dedicated the performance to his father, Elmer Wayne Robison who lost his life to cancer in 1993.

MT Robison is now in the top 20 on the Myspace Music "Top Artists" Charts, in Americana, Blues, & Southern Rock genres.

Considering the hundreds of thousands of bands in each genre, this is huge!

For the second time this year, MT Robison is the featured 'artist of the week' on two of the BEST Musician promotion sites on Myspace. Thanks Howie & Crystal, you're Mighty Angels!!

"Z107.7 FM, Joshua Tree, CA has added 2 cuts from "Promise" to our regular music rotation. It is rare and refreshing to hear new independents with first class music production values and standards. On his first general release CD, MT Robison has hit a home run. The full-bodied richness of his unique voice combined with the delicacy of his thoughtful lyrics adds up to a rich texture in sound. The duet is bonus icing on the cake." Gary Daigneault, Program Director, USA

On Behalf of The Student Operated Press....

Chase Von, Interviews Eclectic Entertainer MT Robison!!!

Chase Von: Hey there MT! I want to thank you for squeezing this in your hectic schedule and sharing yourself with our readers here at the Student Operated Press!

My dear friend Tina Devaney told me to check you out and I always listen to Tina because she has excellent taste! Another one she turned me on to was music Singing Sensation Lisa Lavie! So when Tina speaks, The Last Panther listens!

I was actually coming home from the store earlier today and they were playing Lisa`s song "No One" on 94.5 FM here is So Cal! The show its self is hosted by none other than Kenny G but since I haven`t heard from Lisa in more than a minute now, and I know she is mad busy like yourself, I told T to let her know she`s on the air waves here as well! (Smile).

Now when I checked out your music, my first thought was, sounds a lot like James Taylor! Do you get that a lot and once again, thanks for finding the time to share yourself with us here at the SOP!

MT: Oh, it`s my pleasure and honor Chase! Well, I have had a few people tell me James Taylor but actually we asked Myspace friends that very question, and by far the answers were Bob Dylan and Tom Waits.

I think the Tom Waits comes from my live performance... I`m a little crazy like Tom on stage...Ha ha... Dylan, I don`t know, maybe the sound of my voice.
