Mamas Gun

Germany, Spring 2027

Guests: MT Jones

MAMAS GUN is a creative brotherhood of passionate musicians with a knack for music that not only sounds timeless but also feels that way. On March 11, the British band will present their sixth studio album, “DIG!,” at Im Wizemann in Stuttgart.

Andy Platts, the songwriter with the golden falsetto. Drummer Chris Boot, the backbone of the band, who delivers driving grooves with the ease of a jazz musician. Bassist Cameron Dawson, fluid and fearless, who embodies the spirit of James Jamerson but with an unmistakably melodic sound. Terry Lewis, a guitarist whose taste, feel, and expressiveness convey an important, warm old-school authenticity. And last but not least, Dave Oliver, a dynamic keyboardist whose profound mastery of the piano, Wurlitzer, and Hammond organ effortlessly blurs the boundaries between jazz, gospel, and soul. What a sound! Authentic, organic, and deeply soulful—all recorded on 16-track analog tape.

“DIG!” is undoubtedly a special album, not least because MAMAS GUN collaborates here with the legendary Brian Jackson, Gil Scott-Heron’s songwriting partner and a longtime collaborator with artists such as Roy Ayers and Earth, Wind & Fire. The themes of the songs on this album are universal: love, family, hope, redemption, and—as in all great soul music—the search for comfort in difficult times.
