Phenomenal musician Fats Kaplin has mastered so many different instruments he stopped being able to keep track a while ago. In the past decade, he’s performed extensively with Jack White and the late, great John Prine, and this year he’s spent much of his time on the road playing steel and strings with Mitski. Whenever he’s free, you can find him with The Fats Kaplin Gang at The 5 Spot or joining in Paul Burch’s band of ringers The WPA Ballclub at Brown’s Diner. He’s carrying on one of Nashville’s finest deep-rooted musical traditions: deploying his high degree of instrumental prowess elegantly and organically.
