Unabashedly soulful and rich with tradition, his music is timeless, generous, and alive. An outlier by design, Masterson radiates stadium-sized charisma in an intimate setting and has shared stages with Tori Amos, Amy Winehouse, and The Stereophonics at iconic venues like Earls Court and the Cardiff Millennium Stadium. He has collaborated with artists including Mick Jones of The Clash, Patti Smith, and Joseph Arthur. With acclaim from Billboard, The Guardian, American Songwriter, and more, Masterson brings his unmistakable voice and presence to the stage for an unforgettable evening.
