New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ The Randy Abel Stable) The Randy Abel Stable will be appearing at Midi Beijing 2014 (北京迷笛音乐节2014) on Friday, May 2nd, at 3pm on the Mini Cooper sponsored Song Stage. This is the band's second appearance at the grandaddy of China's music festivals. Midi is China's oldest and largest rock music festival.
The Randy Abel Stable (Simplified Chinese:马厩乐队 Pinyin: Mǎjiù Yuèduì) is an Americana or Alt-Country band from Beijing, China. The Stable combines honky tonk, country, bluegrass and blues to produce a unique sound that has been described as having "the realism and sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the imagery and lyricism of Hank Williams Sr. and the excitement and raw energy of the Ramones."
Critically acclaimed for their live shows, The Stable plays a variety of musical instruments which are native to the United States of America and are seldom seen in China (e.g. banjo, mandolin, dobro and harmonica). Drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres, a typical live performance by The Stable takes its predominantly Chinese audience through a musical journey of honky tonk, country, bluegrass and blues composed of original country ballads, crisp honky tonk dance tunes, Mississippi Delta blues and traditional Rock N' Roll.
The Stable has been twice nominated as "Best Local Band of the Year" (in 2012 and 2013) by Beijing's widely read "City Weekend Magazine." The band was also cited as having given one of the "Most Memorable Performances of 2012" by influential China Music website BeijingDaze.
The band's debut album "Stable Condition" was released in June 2013 and is available for download/purchase on iTunes and Amazon as well as other online stores and is also available for streaming on Spotify and other various online streaming services.
