Cleveland singer-songwriter Thor Platter is a loyal purveyor of Americana music for many reasons. "The tradition and history of American music have influenced me my entire life; it encompasses many sounds and styles from many different eras," he explains. "Above all, it is just good music to your ears."
With his last album Take Time, Platter set out to showcase his mastery of the genre, as well as capture the energy, spirit, and infectious harmonies of his live shows.
Platter’s gentle, affecting vocals – which have earned him numerous comparisons to Willie Nelson – are carried along freely by the accompaniment of rollicking banjo and harmonica. Fans of the classic ‘70s singer-songwriter genre will delight in Platter’s seamless transitions from toe-tapping jams to sweetly confident ballads throughout the set’s 10 tracks.
Take Time was recorded and produced by David Mayfield at Tiger Spa in Akron, Ohio. Since most of Platter’s shows are performed as a trio, the album takes care to show off the mellow yet sparkling synergy that arises from a smaller, tight arrangement.
Platter has performed at multiple large music festivals, and is a seasoned roadman, keeping up a steady schedule of regional gigs while continually working on new music. A new full band album is slated for release in 2022.
