Pluto Gang, a soul-drenched jam band from Charlotte, it out with their second single of 2020.

“Plasmodesmata” is streaming across all major platforms and can be accessed below. This single is a follow up to their January release “Moggy Oxvine”, which we featured in our Spotify Quarantine Playlist in March. The band currently has an EP in the works that should be available this summer.

“Plasmodesmata” displays the wide range of sonic possibilities that Pluto Gang can achieve by combining playful guitar and organ work, rich harmonies, and soulful lead vocals.

Pluto Gang, comprised of Brennan Beck (Vocals), Dillon Crawford (Guitar, Vocals), Wood Britton (Guitar), Joe May (Keyboards, Vocals), Pat Rogers (Bass), Wilson Smith (Percussion), is a local band that will certainly stay on our radar after listening to their first two offerings.

The young six-piece band has successfully manned the middle ground between traditional southern soul, driven by a lead vocalist, and the contemporary jam scene. Their sound fuses funk rhythms, progressive rock leads, and jazz-influenced textures along with Brennan Beck’s rich vocals.

With all members contributing nearly three decades of experience from prior bands, often times collaborating with one another in the past, Pluto Gang took orbit in the summer of 2019 when guitarist Dillon Crawford moved to Charlotte, allowing the band to become a full-time project.

After a successful liftoff period playing local shows and unifying around a new catalog of original music, Pluto Gang made their public studio debut in January 2020 with the aforementioned release of “Moggy Oxvine”.
