Since Tiffany Arbuckle and her band gelled together shortly after
the recording of the first self titled album, and then hit the
road in 1997 and 1998 with multi-platinum-selling labelmate Jars
of Clay, all the while watching plumb sales climb to over 100,000
units out there, life has been one wild ride. Now, with the release
of a sophmore project on essential records, she and the band sound
as though they've had a minute to catch their breath, stretch,
think over things a bit, and expand the signature aggressive sound.
Tiffany comes to the front on Candy coated waterdrops, often
intoning words and stories like a more impassioned Suzanne Vega,
with a nod towards influences stretching from Patty Griffin, Alanis
Morissette and Garbage, to Sarah Mclachlan or Sheryl Crowe.
But despite stretching, growing, and changing, one aspect of
Plumb that remains rock solid and constant is Arbuckle's overriding
mission to shed light upon dark places's, especially subject matter
many artists, and Christians especially, don't feel comfortable
addressing.

Hi. Just caught a snippet of ‘God-shaped Hole’ while watching
Bruce Almighty and had to stay till the end of the credits to
see who was singing it. Great voice great image.

It was in Septmeber of 1998 when I first met Tiff, Mike Tracey
and Paul. I, then, was a drug addict but loved music. I had sampled
their cd by chance, or so i thought. I listen to their self titled
cd and felt something I had never before when I heard "willow
tree." As a singer myelf, i was intriged by Tiffany's voice and
her lyrics seemed to tell a story of my life. If you recall in
Willow Tree, its about someone who is suffering from alcoholism.
I loved the part when it says ' Through my selfishness i couldnt
see where you were coming from, It took your leaving to see, to
see what I'd become, you saw past all the things Id done." These
words did something to me, spoke to me, or whatever you want to
label it. It freed me, I had to get away from the drugs and get
into God. I met Tiffany severals times but that first day in Sept,1998
she had me on stage with her to sing Willow Tree., I dont really
know quite how it happened but It saved my life.
Since then, I consider Tiffany, Paul , Mike and Tracey. friends
of mine, they have even helped me older brother and shown him
and myself so much love. There is something more than just music
they are sharing, if you listen and if you stay true fans to them,,
they will re-pay you ten fold. ............

Plumb is peachy!
Howdy! Plumb is a very interesting group and I must say I like
them! One thing that stood out a lot with me, about tier music,
was the fact that there were songs about love- and not sex! I
think somebody FINALLY got the picture! I was so great-full I
nearly cried! I do have one question, though. What is DrugStoreJesus
about? I mean, I just don't get it not matter how many times I
listen to it?...thanx

Plumb has been such a inspiration to me and has helped me go
through the bad times when I was at rock bottom. Tiffany Arbuckle
puts so much emotion and emphasis on her lyrics it is just breathtaking!
She has taught me that the lord is there in every way and lways
will be. She is an inspirational musician and I hope there is
more of her music to come!
Thank you and God Bless! Sincerely,

Hello my name is Cara, and I recently gave my life to God. I
have never been so proud of myself, because it was something I
did on my own. Without the guidance of anybody except the lord.
I first accompished this by being introduced to a church that
has never made me feel more welcomed.
Through out a time period I started going to church and listening
to Christian rock. There has been one group that has just stuck
with me and that is Plumb. They are a very talented group and
a very spirited one at that! Tiffany Arbuckle has inspired me
not only with her music but with her voice as well. She tells
the story with her voice, and emotions.
So give a listen towards Plumb, they are the best!
