A Texas-raised but Los Angeles-based alt-country band, the Mastersons are built around the husband-and-wife team of Chris Masterson (guitar and vocals) and Eleanor Whitmore (violin and vocals). Both Masterson and Whitmore were seasoned touring and recording musicians (Whitmore with <a href="spotify:artist:3z6Gk257P9jNcZbBXJNX5i" data-name="Regina Spektor">Regina Spektor</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5cqtplMyw7hPLjW47Jr7Uq" data-name="Bruce Robison">Bruce Robison</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2WG7Z6CpNehgR1WGgjKF0E" data-name="Kelly Willis">Kelly Willis</a> and Masterson with <a href="spotify:artist:7AhDVqsNA5q46WKsRPXvoe" data-name="Son Volt">Son Volt</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7HNEfHmDlFofG6YnMt8G7N" data-name="Jack Ingram">Jack Ingram</a>) when they met at a festival in Colorado.

The Mastersons' debut album, Birds Fly South, appeared in 2012, and featured the duo's joyful but still dark alt-country vision paired with a rhythm section of George Reiff (bass) and Falcon Valdez (drums). In 2014, the Mastersons released their second album, Good Luck Charm. Produced by Jim Scott, the set featured stronger political themes as well as more personal material. Also inspired by frequent moves as a consequence of life on the road, the like-minded Transient Lullaby followed in 2017 on spotify:search:label%3A%22Red+House+Records%22 . ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
