Sam Platts & the Plainsmen

Performer – Musician
Sam Platts & the Plainsmen is an energetic Americana band that brings traditional country and western swing to modern audiences. Sam got his start in music on the windy plains of southern Wyoming, and today he and his wife, Lilly, call southwest Montana home. Sam’s songwriting is in the vein of “old” country music, and much of his inspiration comes from rural life. Sam fronts the group on vocals and archtop rhythm guitar, with Lilly Platts on fiddle, Kenny Williams on upright bass, and Bill Dwyer on electric guitar. The group keeps a busy schedule and has had the honor of opening for acts like Asleep at the Wheel, Wayne Hancock, Corb Lund, and Dale Watson. The group released their full-length album, West Side, in December 2022.
