After the band’s most successful year to date, The New Mastersounds will be wrapping up 2009 with one final U.S tour. The East Coast tour will kick off at The Southern in Charlottesville, VA on November 4, continuing on to other noteworthy venues including the 8 x 10 in Baltimore, MD and The Bowery Ballroom in NYC, before wrapping up the tour at Bear Creek Music Festival in Live Oak, FL.
This year marked the release of the album Plug & Play on Universal Records independent arm Fontana & One Note Records, tours through Japan, Italy, Canada and the U.K., festival stops including Bumbershoot, Ottawa Bluesfest and Wakarusa and saw the band sharing bills with the likes of The Black Eyed Peas, Sly & Robbie, Matisyahu and The Black Crowes. The band’s music has been in such high demand that they will be releasing a new LP Ten Years On available exclusively as a digital download and at live shows. The CD version features a very special bonus track with a vocal contribution from Grace Potter, the 24-year-old ascendant rock star and friend of the Mastersounds from the U.S. festival scene. Other special guests include Skerik, JD73 and Chip Wickham.
Led by guitarist and producer Eddie Roberts, The New Mastersounds feature Joe Tatton on Hammond, Pete Shand on bass and Simon Allen on drums.
