Welcome to the official website of Sam Platts, and the band, the Plainsmen. Here you can find our schedule, learn about us, listen to our music, and contact us.

The Plainsmen, led by Sam Platts, is inspired by traditional country music and western swing, playing originals and their favorite standards. While the group is dedicated to the tradition of country and western swing music, we aren’t a throwback group. We’re modern people who have chosen this genre of music because we love it, and because people love to listen to it. This is music you can dance to, sit and listen to, and enjoy.

Thank you for stopping by!
