Planes on Paper w/ Josiah Johnson

There is a vocal synergy that exists between Navid Eliot and Jen Borst, the two core members of the Washington-based folk group Planes on Paper. They each have clear, unique voices, but when combined, a special kind of musical beauty emerges.

As a one year-old project, Planes was already receiving high praise from a nearly endless list of media outlets across the country: The Seattle Times, American Songwriter Magazine, KEXP Seattle, WNYU New York, The Revue, Ear To The Ground, and The Stranger, to name just a few. Now 2.5 years into the band, the praise continues, and the songwriting duo is drawing crowds on both coasts of the US as well as playing noteworthy festivals all without yet releasing a full-length album; that unconventional path speaks volumes about the strength of Planes on Papers live performances. Described as, a cohesive, stark showcase of pure, unadulterated song craft, they are a show not to be missed.

Their debut full length album, Edge Markings, was released in June of 2018.

"This is not a folk album for the gee-golly gee-whiz crowd. This is not a hipster-PBR-flannel shirt kind of folk music just because its trendy. This is deep and transcendent folk music for people who really want to reflect on our political, cultural, and historical moment." - Greg Jones, editor, Ear To The Ground
