Masterson’s father, Patrick, hailed from Achill in Mayo and the talented musician is playing gigs in Mayo this month. On Wednesday, August 13, Adam will play in Mc Ging’s pub in Westport while on Thursday, August 14, the singer will perform live in The Annexe bar in Achill. Both gigs are walk-in events.

Speaking about his new album, Masterson commented: “I’m thrilled to finally release Time Bomb and have a new record out,” shares Masterson. “I worked with some incredible people on this and can’t thank them enough. I also learned so much throughout the process of making this album. I’m excited to share this music with friends and fans who have supported me for so long and hope that Time Bomb finds many new listeners too!”

Standing at his own juncture between English panache, heartland empathy, gospel ambition, and pop prowess, the West London-born and New York-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist brings a rock ‘n’ roll edge to pop as beautifully captured on Time Bomb. 

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 Amy Winehouse to The Stereophonics at the world-renowned Earls Court and the Cardiff Millennium Stadium. Additionally, he has guested with Mick Jones of The Clash, Patti Smith, and Joseph Arthur, to name a few, and has garnered press support from Classic Rock, Billboard, The Guardian, mixdown, American Songwriter, and Glide Magazine, among others, throughout his career.
