Big Plans is a five-piece band based in Portland, Oregon in its 17th year of playing an entertaining and exciting blend of blues, rock and rhythm & blues for knowledgeable head-nodders and dancers alike. Soul, classic blues and stories of love, sadness, joy and advice to the love-worn form the foundation for Big Plans' creative arrangements and unique sound. Live performances are noteworthy, with keyboardist Mike Zilis and harmonica master Joe Dills providing the sweetness to the rhythm section's foundation. You can't catch this band every weekend - appearances and venues are special events, and worth the wait. Come on out - we've got Big Plans for you.
