Nashville-based Americana singer-songwriter Hugh Masterson is set to release a new album,\u00a0Lost + Found<\/em>, his first solo effort, on June 2, 2017 via Rock Ridge Music.\u00a0 The six songs cover a heartfelt journey through surviving loss and life changes while gaining self-awareness through experience. His self-deprecating way of viewing himself is endearing, and his songs are deeply personal. \u201cI use songwriting as therapy,\u201d he says. \u201cI think other people will relate to these songs. Finding happiness daily is not an easy thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recorded at Key Club Recording Co. in Benton Harbor, Michigan, the album was co-produced by Masterson and Bill Skibbe, best known as engineer for The Black Keys, Dead Weather, The Kills and many others. The duo succeeded in bringing Masterson\u2019s own unique perspective to the Americana music he makes, his sound boasting a Midwestern bounce and jangle coupled with Nashville wail and grit. It\u2019s easy, it\u2019s familiar, it\u2019s twangy-goodness, pedal-steel Southern rock; it\u2019s a dusty ride down a road winding through rural Wisconsin (he grew up in the small town of Butternut, Wisconsin) or backwoods Tennessee.<\/p>\n

The first single, the title track \u201cLost + Found,\u201d tells the story of Masterson getting mugged one night in Milwaukee. He was hit in the head with a tire iron and his jaw was broken in two places.\u00a0I got beat up just walking around town\/Hold my head up high still on the ground\/Don\u2019t know why I came here\/Don\u2019t know what I\u2019m fighting for.\u00a0<\/em>Masterson explains: \u201cIt\u2019s about when you feel like you’re not sure why things happen to you. You\u2019re not sure how to navigate life the best way that you possibly can, because you’re not seeing the signs that you need yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several years after the mugging, and following the death of his mother, Masterson made the move from Milwaukee to Nashville. Unbeknownst to him, this move would end up being the catalyst for the breakup of his band, Hugh Bob and the Hustle, who were starting to enjoy both industry and fan attention. Masterson was set on leaving Wisconsin while the rest of his band decided to stay put. He quickly took to the East Nashville music community, befriending a number of artists with whom he\u2019s toured recently, such as The Lone Bellow, Margo Price, Nikki Lane, Anderson East and several others. Additionally, he\u2019s drawn attention from the Americana Music Association, CMT, KCRW\u2019s \u201cMorning Becomes Eclectic,\u201d\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/em>, World Caf\u00e9, and South by Southwest.<\/p>\n

Masterson plans to hit the road prior to the album\u2019s release; he\u2019s got a handful of co-headlining dates planned with Brian Elmquist of The Lone Bellow. The tour schedule is below.<\/p>\n
