Indigenous
Continually playing to critical acclaim and gaining passionate fans, Indigenous returns to PwF, with front-man Mato Nanjiin his fourth appearance here. South Dakota-based Indigenous has compiled a rich blues history over decades. “Be true to who you are and what you want to do.” In a Blues Rock Review interview in 2013, Mato Nanji of Indigenous (and current Experience Hendrix touring member since 2002) offered these words of wisdom that proves particularly applicable to blues music that thrives on the hearts and souls of its creators. It’s a philosophy that has certainly served him well. A review for the 2017 release Gray Skies, says, “Mato once again forges ahead, pushing himself to new personal bests. His playing and singing have never been better.”
Levi Platero Band
Teaching himself guitar at the age of nine, Levi Platero emerged the Navajo Nation to the blues scene in 2004 with The Plateros, his family award-winning blues-rock power trio. After touring the U.S. with the band for 10 years, he played as a member of Indigenous for a year before returning to his own music and recruiting his own band. In 2016 he released Take Me Back, which won the 2016 New Mexico Music Awards for Best Blues. He was also nominated for an Indigenous Music Award for Best Rock album, with Perspective.Levi’s quiet nature is unleashed in a style that mixes a spectrum of Texas Blues, 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.
