“Adam Masterson’s brand of no-frills rock ‘n roll is hard to come by these days…[his] vocals exude charismatic worldliness, not unlike The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen.” – mxdwn

 

“Not unlike Ryan Adams, Masterson has the knack of writing songs that remind you of older and better-known pieces, yet still manage to fence off some turf that’s theirs alone.” – The Guardian

 

“Adam Masterson is his own master. He has a unique blend of music that dips into the artistic cauldron that mixes in the influences in order to serve up a unique blend of beautifully delivered dulcet toned ditties and poignantly penned songs for the ‘today’ generation.” – Louder Than War

 

“His signature voice could pretty much tell any story and keep the listener engaged.” –Sound Vapors

It features some tracks off my last EP as well as many unreleased songs that I’m looking forward to sharing with everyone. After so long, it’s very exciting to be putting out a full body of work.”

 

Standing at his own juncture between English panache, heartland empathy, gospel ambition, and pop prowess, theWest London-born and New York-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist brings a rock ‘n’ roll edge to pop as beautifully captured onTime Bomb. Masterson produced all tracks on the album with a who’s who of co-producers and mix engineers including James Hallawell (The Waterboys/Graham Parker), Tchad Blake (The Black Keyes, Sheryl Crow), Sean Genocky(The Black Crowes, Richard Ashcroft), Ron Saint Germain (Soundgarden, 311), Dave O’Donnell (James Taylor, Keith Richards), Craig Dreyer (Pete Francis, Dispatch), and Paul Stacey (Oasis, The Black Crowes).

Rocking a classic guitar, under tousled hair, and behind vintage shades,Adam Masterson represents a timeless ideal of what a Rockstar should be—yet he does so for a new age. Unabashedly embracing old school influences as he updates tradition with heaps of spirit and soul, he taps into the kind of magic we yearn for, but don’t get enough of. In doing so, Masterson emerges as an outlier built from his own design, bucking trends and emanating stadium-size charisma at the same time. As a charismatic live performer,Masterson has shared stages with everyone from Tori Amos and AmyWinehouse to The Stereophonicsat the world-renowned Earls Court and the Cardiff Millennium Stadium. Additionally, he has guested withMick Jones of The Clash, Patti Smith, and Joseph Arthur, to name a few, and has garnered press support from Billboard, Elmore Magazine, The Guardian, mxdwn, American Songwriter, and Glide Magazine, among others, throughout his career.
