The New Mastersounds

Since they formed in Leeds in 1999 The New Mastersounds have spread their wings and earned themselves a healthy following across the Pond but they tend to return once a year to play in their home town. This time theyre back to launch a new album, Therapy (their ninth studio record!)

The New Mastersounds, from the Yorkshire city of Leeds, are part of a vast British network tied together through their love of classic American R&B, funk and souljazz. What sets The New Mastersounds apart is their expertise: the keyboard-driven collective comes on like a juiced-up, highly kinetic New Orleans version of Booker T & the MGs and their jazzy style has earned them praise from their idols - Maceo Parker, The Neville Brothers, the JBs and The Meters among others.
