Encore – the fiery pop-rock group fronted by brothers Donald and Richard Plant, have stepped into the limelight as one of the music industry’s most vibrant new artists. Originally formed in 2017, the Plant brothers joined forces with bass player Daniel Rafaelov to officially create the group, adopting the name ‘Encore’ as they launched themselves into orbit as a band that focuses on creating a community through their music and building a legacy for years to come. In 2018, the band embarked on a nation-wide tour, where they enhanced their chemistry as a group while improving upon their abilities to write and perform music that entices all audiences, all of which was accomplished just a few short months after graduating from high school. By fusing together a blend of inspiration from some of music’s timeless legends, Encore has contrived a unique, Rolling Stones-esque look supported by a boisterous and intrepid sound.
Since the release of their 2020 pop-rock ballad, “Tell Me,” the group has fostered an unique approach to writing and releasing music that utilizes social media as a main bridge that allows them to connect and build upon the interpersonal relationships that they have with their listeners. By doing so, these online platforms have become a main source of communication that provides the group with the opportunity to engage and create their own community across the globe.
With the premiere of the group’s latest works of “Stargirl” and “In My Head,” Encore has presented a change in their musical style. By bringing back nostalgic instruments and attempting innovative recording techniques, the band has elevated their songwriting and production capabilities to new levels, cultivating their musical knowledge and shaping their creative paths for all future endeavours.
In developing a new wave of music that allows listeners all over the globe to stay connected, Encore is arising as a group that gives their following a shot from the past and a clear glance into the future. With the release of “California Nights” approaching, the group’s new music stands as a testimony to the creative direction the band is taking as they pursue a universally new sound that synthesizes a dynamic range of nostalgic production with theatrical vocals and whole-hearted lyrics aimed to emotionally resonate with individuals across the globe.
