The bands new album Limits of Grip does just that, flaunting expectation by combining a classic mix of heavy rock, blues, jazz and roots . Known for a swampy blues / rock sound the band influences include flashes of Tom Waits, and Muddy Waters with roots extending to Ben Harper. Throw in a slide guitar, raspy vocals, a rocking bluesy bass, massive drum percussion and the result is a spectacular kaleidoscope of musical genres. The popular three piece is renowned for their amazing live stage performances. Punters have been kicking up their heels to the drop down percussion beats that involve all three members of the band and the audience. The band has played alongside artists including Xavier Rudd, Jack Johnson, Buddy Guy and Keith Urban to name a few. Mason Rack Band are currently on tour throughout AUSTRALIA after completing their fifth Canadian tour in August 2011 - so for dates of a show near you check out the bands gig guide.
