All the way from Sydney, Australia, solo artist Plini Roessler-Holgate has created his own experimental, instrumental rock sound while producing his own music from his home studio. His 2016 debut album, Handmade Cities, garnered critical acclaim and was voted one of the “20 best guitar albums of the decade,” coming in at #5 in Guitar World Magazine. Steve Vai also described the album as “one of the finest, forward thinking, melodic, rhythmically and harmonically deep, evolution of rock/metal instrumental guitar records I have ever heard.” Before the pandemic, Plini toured the world with various bands and even played a set at the UK’s Download Festival in 2018. During the COVID-19 worldwide crisis, Plini created his second album, Impulse Voices, which he is now touring post-pandemic. Plini is taking his experimental guitar sound worldwide and landing smack-dab in the middle of Georgia. California groups Strawberry Girl and Standards will open the night.
