Catch them on October 31 for their first time ever performing an entire night of music together.

THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS TOUR WITH TROMBONE SHORTY AND SALVADOR SANTANA

The New Mastersounds

Kicking off 2010 with an international tour including Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom, The New Mastersounds are already jet setting their way across the globe. The band’s first U.S. tour will begin March 3 in Boulder, CO at The Fox Theatre with San Francisco Bay Area musician (and son of 10x Grammy winner Carlos) Salvador Santana. Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will be co-headlining on select dates.

The New Mastersounds will be touring in support of the fan driven November 2009 release Ten Years On. The band also released Plug & Play on Fontana/One Note Records in March 2009, providing a steady flow of new music for their live shows. The New Mastersounds’ live shows have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm; Encore Online says “upon listening to their deep, open-ended and warm sound it’s apparent why they are blowing up on the international funk scene and are now taking America one show at a time.”

Led by guitarist and producer Eddie Roberts, The New Mastersounds feature Joe Tatton on keys, Pete Shand on bass and Simon Allen on drums.

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 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.
