The Mastersons w/ Special Guest: Bonnie Whitmore

Mainstage Theatre, 216 Union Street, Seattle

Two heads are better than one, or at least that’s what The Mastersons will tell you. Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore are singer-songwriters/multi-instrumentalists. The musical and marital twosome make inspired albums of their own emotionally vivid, deeply humanistic songs. The pair have released four critically acclaimed albums. In 2012 their debut album Birds Fly South was a breakout critical hit on both sides of the pond, with Uncut awarding the album 9/10 stars and Esquire dubbing The Mastersons one of the “Bands You Need To Know Right Now”. Two years later, they followed it up with Good Luck Charm, premiered by the NY Times and praised by Mother Jones for its "big-hearted lyrics, tight song structures, and sweetly intertwined harmonies." Popmatters ranked it "among the top Americana releases of 2014," while American Songwriter called it "a perfect soundtrack for a summer of warm nights and hot, lazy days," and the Austin Chronicle praised the band's "spunky wit and rare measure of emotional maturity." 2017 saw the release of Transient Lullaby which had a decidedly darker, more mellow approach, still possessing the uncanny rapport that they’ve developed in their experiences living, touring and making music together. In 2020 they released their fourth album No Time For Love Songs, produced by Shooter Jennings.
