Join us for a special evening of masterful musicianship and roots-rich songwriting with Jeff Plankenhorn and Gabriel Rhodes.J. Plank and G. Rhodes share a deep reverence for the stripped-back economy of J.J. Cale — the idea that a groove is most powerful when it breathes. Their debut album, “Slow and Steady,” is that philosophy made real: recorded live-to-room at Macy Studios in Rockport, Texas by engineer John Macy, built from two voices, two electric guitars (sometimes slide), and a drum machine. All songs written and performed by Plank and Rhodes, with one three-way co-write with Chris Robeson. Bluesy, groovy, and deeply felt — available for purchase at all shows.
Sharing the stage is Gabriel Rhodes, an Austin-based folk and country musician and highly respected producer. Best known as an exceptional electric and acoustic guitarist, Rhodes is also a versatile multi-instrumentalist who has performed and recorded on piano, dobro, bass, theremin, percussion, and more. His musicality and deep roots in the Texas music community make him a perfect collaborator for an evening like this.THE ARTISTS
