Steeped in musical lessons as far back as teaching himself guitar at nine years old from a launchpad of the three Kings and Stevie Ray Vaughn, Levi Platero's leads and songwriting reflect a lifetime absorbing music. 

Platero is from the Navajo Nation in the Southwest. 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 one-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.

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.

Grit. Energy. Heart. Foot stomping rhythms and raucous slide guitar interweave with soulful gospel roots and balladry. The Southern Gothic sound of Jhett Black draws from years of experience on the road with underground folk rock band, Gleewood, and his passion for American roots music.

Somewhere between teaching himself slide guitar behind the chicken coop of a New Mexico ranch house and an endless sea of dive bars, the blues found their way into the young man's heart and pours back out with the passionate performance of an older soul. 

Jhett proudly represented San Angelo, Texas at the 2022 International Blues Challenge and took 2nd place in the solo/duo category. His album, Roots, is charting in acoustic blues and blues album international radio charts.
