So sit back, turn up the volume, and let Thor and his band take you on a journey through the heart of the American musical tradition.

Platter, who grew up in Buffalo, NY, had a childhood seeped in rich musical influences – from Woodie Guthrie to Bob Dylan, Flatt & Scruggs, Willie Nelson, – but his biggest inspiration to date has been Neil Young. “The way [Young] lived his life in the 70's, the way he recorded, with music being the most important thing-that was a heavy influence on me," he explains.
True to Young’s experimental and personally driven nature, Platter approaches songcraft without specific genre boundaries, choosing instead to allow his music to evolve instinctually. He made a fast impact on Cleveland's music scene upon moving there from Buffalo in 2008.
Platter has been the featured performer at multiple large local music festivals, and is a seasoned roadman, keeping up a steady schedule of regional gigs while continually working on new music.
