When thinking about the career of the Masterless Men and how it now spans 20 years it isn\u2019t hard to believe that they\u2019ve remained together this long. When you watch them perform live you get the sense that if they never performed for a crowd again they would get together around the kitchen table for the enjoyment of the music and each other\u2019s company. There is a real sense of camaraderie in this band. This kinship is a necessary ingredient to the success of a group. The other is musical ability, something the Masterless Men have a great deal of. They have become known for both their up tempo, rousing blend of traditional folk and bluegrass and their stirring, and beautifully moving ballads. John Curran<\/strong>, the band\u2019s tenor singer has one of the most instantly recognizable voices of any Newfoundland performer and it is elevated by the fantastic musicianship of his band mates. 20 Years is a great snapshot of where the Masterless Men have come from and where they are presently, a crown jewel in an already impressive discography. Happy anniversary!<\/p>\n
