Turkuaz and The New Mastersounds Announce Major Fall Tour August 16, 2016 13:08

Turkuaz and The New Mastersounds have announced a major fall tour, which will feature both bands co-headlining at venues nationwide. In celebration of the tour, both bands are releasing a joint disc which includes each band covering a song from the other's catalog. The very limited edition vinyl is now available for pre-order via both band's fan club ticketing before it's exclusively available at shows throughout tour.

Turkuaz is a 9-piece “Powerfunk” outfit from Brooklyn, NY, whose modern take on the classic funk sound has established them as leaders in the funk revolution that’s currently taking place in the genre. Blending elements of Pop, R&B, and Soul with their distinct aggressive funk core, Turkuaz sounds like the musical love child of Sly & the Family Stone and Talking Heads.

From their inception nearly two decades ago in Leeds, UK, The New Mastersounds have wholeheartedly embraced the “old school” label—their sound rooted deeply in those classic soul jazz, boogaloo and funk albums on labels such as Blue Note and Prestige by artists like Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff and Lou Donaldson. The New Mastersounds’ latest LP, The Nashville Session, takes that devotion one step further by recording in the same tradition that many of those rare groove gems were made.
