MMHP Season 6 Ep:13--Drew Abbott Silver Bullet To The Third Power Part 1 of 2
Episode 13
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO OUR MMHP989 LISTENING FAMILY!! We are kicking the year off right--Live Bullet and Nine Tonight rip your ears off. Not just because of Seger, but because of the guitarist Drew Abbott. You have him to thank for the countless riffs, energy, and pure Michigan guitarist love. Abbott visited the MMHP in the 989 in 2025 and it was one FOR THE BOOKS! Abbott left no holds barred on his feelings on the business, his thoughts on tours, his thoughts on not being included on Seger studio albums, his Third Power upbringing into the Michigan scene, and beyond. Here in Part 1 of 2, Abbott lets it all loose, no holds barred. This career retrospective is direct from the masters mouth and for you, our listeners. Welcome to 2026 with a Bullet!
