The Mastersons

THE MASTERSONS IN CONCERT: Husband and wife duo The Mastersons have built a loyal following with their melodic brand of Americana-soaked alt country. In concert they nail their soaring guy-girl harmonies with the ease and intuition of a – wait for it – married couple, always getting fans smiling with their witty lyrics, sunny onstage energy, and evocative guitar and mandolin strumming. On the road the pair is occasionally joined by a backing band of bass and drums, but they’re just as effective when they perform as a duo, creating an impressively nuanced sound with little more than their instruments and voices. Whether they’re tearing through the upbeat “Closer to You” or taking it down a notch with the emotional “Birds Fly South”, The Mastersons always treat ticket buyers to dynamic concert experience that combines the best of country, rock, and heart-on-sleeve indie rock.
