Two talented musicians, Jeff Plankenhorn and Michael O’Connor, play together at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck at 7 p.m. Thursday, November 5, 2015.
Austin-based Jeff Plankenhorn, or “Plank” as he is affectionately known as in music circles, has been a mainstay in the music world for nearly two decades, crossing genres from from roots, soul, rock, Americana, and folk.
With three critically acclaimed solo records under his belt, Plankenhorn continues to solidify his place among the most talented and respected songsmiths in Austin and across the country.
The Texas Coastal Bend is where now Denver-based Michael O’Connor cut his teeth – literally and musically. It’s where he honed his guitar licks while paying close attention to the people around him, the people who were to find their way into his original songs. It’s where he earned a star on the South Texas Music Walk of Fame.
His new CD, Bloodshot Vagabond, his fourth as a leader, features songs including “Rigged Game,” “Run Wild,” “Bad Blood,” “Switchblade Heart,” “Old New Year’s Eve” and “Candy” with protagonists who run the gamut from people who scratch for every little bit they own to a bad-ass girlfriend with an equally bad-ass dog to a legendary stripper.
Plank and O’Connor have been playing and writing together for years. They will be touring together as a duo as much as possible in the next year and already it is a fan favorite.
