Cris Plata was born in South Texas, the son of migrant workers. Those early days of living in different migrant camps and following the harvest exposed Cris to a range of musical genres, including norteño, conjunto, and ranchera. He was also influenced by notable and innovative Texan singer-songwriters such as Bob Wills, Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett, and Steve Earle. Cris fuses these musical experiences with his original storytelling for a truly unique sound. And his band brings the right amount of spice to make their concerts “Extra Hot!”
