Plumb was an alternative CCM band based in Nashville and centered around singer/songwriter Tiffany Arbuckle, who founded the band upon purchasing an acoustic guitar from future songwriting partner and Plumb co-producer Matt Bronleewe. Bronleewe introduced Arbuckle to friends Joe Porter (drums) and Matt Stanfield (keyboards, programming), and the lineup was completed with bassist J.J. Plasencio and guitarist Stephen Leiweke. The group released its self-titled debut on Essential Records in 1997, with Bronleewe and Jars of Clay's Dan Haseltine co-producing the record. The band's second album, Candycoatedwaterdrops, followed in 1999, after which Arbuckle left to pursue a solo career under the band's existing moniker. 2000's The Best of Plumb effectively completed Plumb's contract with Essential, allowing Arbuckle to partner with Curb Records on her future releases. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
