EDDIE ROBERTS & THE LUCKY STROKES
If luck is what happens when hard work meets opportunity, the union of Eddie Roberts & The Lucky Strokes epitomizes that adage. The New Mastersounds’ guitarist and bandleader has a knack for leaning into individual strengths and that sensibility is evidenced through his recruitment of Mississippi-based guitarist and vocalist, Shelby Kemp, who brings a Southern rock grit and candid, nimble songwriting to team up with the Tampa Bay-based Galbraith sisters who possess a simpatico rhythm section chemistry only found within a family bloodline. Powered by the urbane guitar playing and production of Roberts and you have a new tour de force ensemble that makes listeners stop in their tracks the same way Roberts did upon hearing the talents of Kemp and the Galbraith Sisters. The quartet first teamed up to perform Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom’s 20th Anniversary party in Denver, CO, and recorded a full-length record at Color Red Studios the next day to further solidify the newly forged musical connection. The sound is an amalgamation of celebrated country lyricists such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and George Jones mixed with the rhythmically driven aesthetics of James Brown and rounded out by honest rock ‘n’ roll—a combination slated to make its own luck and take the scene by storm.

THE WESTONES
The Westones are a new supergroup out of Oakland with a unique blend of heavy soul, R&B and funk, featuring members who have toured with top acts as Dirtwire, Con Brio, Midtown Social, Smoked out Soul, Afrolicious and The Routine.

The band was formed in 2024 alongside their weekly residency at Degrees Plato in Oakland, where they crafted their sound and developed a local audience.

While the residency has come to an end, the Westones have since recorded their debut EP (to be released soon) at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, and have been featured as direct support for Diggin Dirt at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma and alongside Joe Marcinek and Robert Randolph at the legendary Boom Boom Room in San Francisco. Hot on the festival circuit, they’ve performed the main stage at Golden Road Gathering and will be seen at several others this summer including Same Same But Different and Joshua Tree Music Festival.
