Singer-songwriter and lap steel guitarist J. Plank hits the legendary King Eddy stage on August 13.
About J. Plank:
J. Plank (Jeff Plankenhorn) is a BC-based, internationally touring singer-songwriter and master of the lap steel guitar. Known for soulful vocals, dynamic stagecraft, and a sound that bridges roots, blues, and folk, he has spent decades captivating audiences across North America, Europe, and Japan. Plank is a highly respected musician recognized for his skill as a slide guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist, gaining acclaim both as a solo artist and as a sought-after session player. His style blends blues, folk, and roots into a sound that’s uniquely his own.
In 2025, he released The Bend, a stripped-down solo acoustic album recorded on the Texas coast, showcasing just his voice, lap steel, acoustic guitar, and piano. Later this year he will follow it with a high-energy roots rock album recorded in the Netherlands with the band The Southern Aces — a project that blends live-off-the-floor energy with wizardly guitar playing, innovative songwriting, and, most of all, deep groove.
Plank’s career includes collaborations with a wide range of artists, headline festival slots, and multiple Austin Music Award nominations for Musician of the Year, Best Guitarist, and a win for Best Misc. Instrument for “The Plank,” a hybrid lap steel guitar he designed himself. For him, music is about bringing people together — whether biker or drag queen, listener or dancer — to share in the joy and connection that only a great song can deliver.
