THE PLOCTONES

The Ploctones is a Dutch jazz-rock supergroup centered around master guitarist Anton Goudsmit. During the first edition of the Bridge Guitar Festival, you could already witness Goudsmit's performance with Montis, Goudsmit, and Directie, where they turned Café Wilhelmina's stage upside down, set it ablaze, and everything else you can imagine being done to a stage by enormously crafted musicians. This quartet (besides Goudsmit, Efraïm Trujillo on tenor saxophone, Jeroen Vierdag on bass, Martijn Vink - who was the busiest drummer at BRIDGE 2023 with four different performances, if our count is correct - on drums) is just as headstrong as all the other bands in which Goudsmit participates. Expect fantastic grooves, sharp solos, and jagged riffs played by musicians whom, without exaggeration, you can rightfully deem spectacularly talented.
