Gritty. Rockin. Country. These three words perfectly describe Against the Grain. Born and forged in the intense competition of the Las Vegas entertainment scene, ATG brings the intense rock sound of Jason Aldean, the modern country sound of Rascal Flatts and the gritty down-home energy of Randy Houser to the stage night after night.
ATG is no stranger to "the big stage". You may have seen them opening for Trent Tomlinson or Bryan White, or rocking the faces of 40,000+ people celebrating the birth of our nation! Tony Mosti, Lead SInger of ATG have been seen on NBC's Nashville Star andFox's Fast Track to Fame, and performing with artists such as Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney or Miranda Lambert.
Big or small, ATG rocks every stage it takes! Come get some!

|
Born into a family with a rich musical tradition. Both his mother's and father's family have extensive musical training and performance time. It's no wonder that he soaked up a love of music at an early age. Some of his earliest memories are of preparing and performing on stage. Later he began to take an interest in the structure and composition of music. He satisfied this interest with study of music theory; "something I continue to benefit from, to this day!" says Jody.
"I love to play and I love to entertain. There's nothing better than getting on stage with good friends, making great music, and watching people have a fantastic time!"
Now Jody is lighting stages on fire with this unique energy with ATG!!
Rob Robbins has been touring and recording around the world since the 80's
Working with Bands and Artists like April Wine and Helix and Rik Emmett (Triumph) Steel Lily in Canada to Dave Mason (Traffic/Fleetwood Mac) Lamya (Duran Duran, Soul II Soul) Rhett Forrester(Riot) in the US . Rob has also worked the Las Vegas strip along side great Rock Tribute artists, and shared the stage with recording artists The Doobie Brothers, Gretchen Wilson and many others over the years.
While embracing his influence by country music from childhood, Rob brings in a harder edge sound and energy to ATG. With many writing and production credits he is also helping produce the bands first album.
