LEVI PLATERO
Levi Platero is a Diné blues artist from To’hajilee, New Mexico, whose intuitive guitar playing soulfully encapsulates a lifetime of experience.
His family band, The Plateros, emerged on the music scene in 2004 as a blues rock power trio compared to the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Los Lonely Boys and ZZ Top. After a decade of touring the US with his family band, and a 1-year run as a member of Indigenous, Levi decided it was time to get back to his own music as a solo artist.
He then recruited a new band, began touring, and released a self-titled EP featuring the single “Take Me Back,” which went on to win the 2016 NAMA (Native American Music Award) for Best Blues. Levi Platero is a great example of a guitar player with the gift of guitar playing intuition of a much more experienced player. His quiet nature is unleashed in a style that mixes a spectrum of Texas blues and vintage rock to modern guitar heroes such as Eric Johnson and Steve Vai. With a captivating live show he ranges from flurries of guitar acrobatics all the way down to soulful expressiveness.
We are endlessly grateful to all our sponsors who make these events possible!
