There is something about a family band that gives them that certain edge over other acts, something about the way the harmonies are just right and their timing - perfect. Many wonder what makes family bands so unique, so outstanding. Maybe it’s the fact that the singers have known each other all their lives and know not just the artist, but the person - which makes them gel so well together. Or is it because genetics has given them similar voices which blend naturally together. The truth is, no one knows. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. PLATERO’S IS A THREE PIECE FAMILY BLUES ROCK POWER TRIO, FROM TOHAJIILEE NM, THE EASTERN AGENCY OF THE NAVAJO NATION WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST OF THE UNITED STATES, THEY FIRST CAME ON THE MUSIC SCENE IN DECEMBER 2004, AT A SMALL CHURCH IN BIRDSPRING AZ, THEN BY APRIL 2005 THEY WERE INVITED TO THE BIGGEST POW WOW IN THE WORLD, "THE GATHERING OF NATIONS" BY NATIVE RAPPER AND MOVIE STAR “LITEFOOT“ AND KNIFEWING SAGURA OF NATIVE STARS PRODUCTION FOR A 20-MIN SET ON THE "REACH THE REZ STAGE", AT THE TIME THE LEAD GUITAR PLAYER WAS ONLY 12YRS OLD, LEVI, CAME OUT ON THE STAGE THAT NIGHT AND JUST AMAZED THE PACKED CROWD, THE YOUNG GUITARIST SLID ACROSS THE STAGE WITH POWER CHORDS, AND SCREAMING BLUES NOTES AS HIS DAD MURPHY BACKED HIS SON WITH BASS GUITAR, VOCALS, HIS OLDER COUSIN KEPT THE BEAT ON DRUMS, AS THIS FAMILY GAVE THEIR 1ST MAJOR PERFORMANCE, BY THE END OF THE SHOW THE CROWD HAD JUST SEEN THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER NATIVE AMERICAN FAMILY BAND LIKE INDIGENOUS, REDBONE THEY GAVE THE YOUNG BOY AND HIS FAMILY BAND A HUGE WELCOME TO THE NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC SCENE.
