The Mastersons
Questions and Answers
About the Artist
The Mastersons’ live performances are an intimate, harmony-rich journey through Americana, where folk, rock, and bittersweet storytelling collide with effortless chemistry. Comprised of husband-and-wife duo Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore, the pair delivers soaring vocal harmonies and masterful multi-instrumentalism—Chris on guitar, Eleanor often switching between fiddle and mandolin like it’s a casual flex. Their shows balance polished musicianship with raw emotion, often evoking a sense of warmth that feels more like a living room session than a stage production. Before forming their own act, they toured extensively as part of Steve Earle’s band, and fans still mention how their side-stage synergy quietly stole the spotlight. One memorable performance in Austin involved a storm knocking out the power mid-set—unfazed, they moved to the center of the room and finished their set acoustically, with the crowd huddled close, hanging on every note. That moment says everything about The Mastersons: seasoned pros with the heart of troubadours, always a little closer to you than you expected.
