Solo rock artist James Mastro has just released his debut album “Dawn of a New Error” on MPress Records.

To help promote the album Mastro will be heading out on tour next week with Alejandro Escovedo.  Not only will Mastro be opening for Escovedo; he will also be performing with Escovedo and his band.

Mastro spoke on creating the album saying, “the songs here were recorded whenever myself and Tony Shanahan found time to get together between his work with Patti Smith and my work with Ian Hunter and other various projects.  This kept it fresh for me.  The longer a song sits around after being written, the more you tend to overthink it.  These arrangements came about while in the studio, and I’m pleased with the results.  No pressure, and done for the sheer joy of making music with friends, which I’ve always found to yield the best results.”
