Mamas Gun
“Mama’s Gun: Soul’s Next Move: The sound is classic, the vibe is now, your new favorite old soul album” – Brian Jackson
“Glorious harmonies” **** Daily Express
Mamas Gun is a 5-piece band from the UK. Their sound is one that straddles so-called blue eyed soul and the best of soul in the black music tradition. With soul music being the common ground between the 5 members, echoes of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Bobby Caldwell, Bill Withers, Lewis Taylor and Sly Stone can be heard weaving in between the sonic threads of their frequently uplifting and heart rending music.
“The best album to date, I love Mamas Gun”– Craig Charles , BBC 6 Music
Back at Peggy’s Skylight following mostly sold out tour dates stretching from the UK to USA, from Germany to S. Korea. There’s real alchemy at work here within this UK 5-piece band Mamas Gun – a rare creative brotherhood of passionate musicians with a knack for making music that sounds and feels timeless.
Mamas Gun was originally formed by Andy Platts in 2007 who, as a songwriter, has penned hits for Take That, James Morrison and various high profile stars in South Korea and Japan.. Since 2015 he has also been one half of yacht rock duo Young Gun Silver Fox alongside cult musician and producer Shawn Lee, cultivating a major presence in Europe and the United States.
Drummer Chris Boot’s softly-softly but always groovy presence on the drums is perfectly complimented by the warm bouncy James Jamerson-esque bass guitar stylings of Cameron Dawson. Guitarist Terry Lewis’ deft touch on the guitar adds to the authenticity of the sound. Think percussive Motown style “chanks”, shimmering spring reverb, Cornell Dupree’s chordal fluency and searing Isley Brothers style lead sounds. Dave Oliver’s profound control and connection with keyboard instruments sees him at home with everything from serene jazz piano and crunchy Wurlitzer textures to roaring gospel Hammond and warm vocal-esque synth lines. Sitting atop is the yearning honeyed voice of Andy Platts. Names like Marvin Gaye and Daryl Hall are often mentioned but Platts’ really has a unique sound all of his own.
Mamas Gun’s music certainly connects and is a welcome balm for the soul – uplifting, questing, nourishing and golden. Their latest album DIG! is a pure delight to experience and without a doubt their most accomplished album to date.
