The Plateros -- 16-year-old Levi Platero (guitar and vocals), his father Murphy (bass), and cousin Doug (drums) (Eastern Agency of the Navajo Nation, Tohajillee, New Mexico) -- merge blues, rock, gospel, and funk with a positive message. After a few short years playing in public, they have already earned comparisons to such groups as Los Lonely Boys and Indigenous.
