James Mastro @ Chromatic Studios

Guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer-songwriter James Mastro has toured the world dozens of times with rock and pop artists including Patti Smith, Ian Hunter, Judy Collins, John Cale, The Jayhawks, Alejandro Escovedo, Garland Jeffreys, Jesse Malin, and Robert Plant.

His new album for MPress Records, “Dawn of a New Error,” finds Mastro firmly in frontman territory, unleashing 10 brand-new, fiery cuts that will make even the most jaded music listener sit up and listen. What makes Mastro all the more impressive is his arsenal of sounds – textural and otherworldly one minute and retro-rock the next, each track is a swoon-worthy, master class in crafting timeless hooks, intelligent lyrics, and kick-ass playing that any fan of Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, or Wilco will embrace.
