Deeply rooted in the foundations of blues and rock, Plank Road's sound is eclectic and complex enough to defy any specific classification. The band digs deep to unearth nostalgic covers atypical to North Central Ohio scene, while supporting an arsenal of homegrown originals with an intoxicating flow of spontaneous, improvisational jam sessions.
Incorporating the passion, soulful vocals and intense guitar riffs of Scott Stiert, Andy Bauman's funk-inspired,dance worthy bass lines, and percussionist Mike Gildenmeister's intricate rhythms and daring fills, the members of Plank Road have come together to create an inventive and original sound.
There is no doubt that as one of the most talented and polished acts in the area, Plank Road is rapidly becoming a staple among local music lovers.

Hi Plank Road! Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
