Earthsongs.net

This week on Earthsongs: The Levi Platero Band previously known as The Plateros hails from the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. Levi Platero is a family blues rock trio made up of Levi Platero on guitar and vocals, Douglas Platero on drums, and Bronson Begay on bass guitar and vocals. Their style is a mix of Texas blues and a touch of 70s rock and roll. Front man Levi Platero was 12 years old the first time he performed on stage at the Gathering of Nations, North America’s “Biggest” Pow-Wow. The trio’s first album “Hang On” was nominated twice for a Native American Music Award, in 2006 and 2008. They have been touring as part of the band Indigenous over the past year and are now rearing to release their second album. Levi shares with us his latest singles from the upcoming album.
