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. 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. Together their sound is intimate, highly musical and questing. 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. Surprisingly reluctant to identify as a singer, his abilities nevertheless able to stir deep emotional reactions from listeners. Names like Marvin Gaye and Daryl Hall are often mentioned but Platts’ really has a unique sound all of his own. Mamas Gun was originally formed by Platts in 2007, and who is also largely responsible for the groups songwriting output. Running parallel he has enjoyed an illustrious side career as a songwriter has penned hits for Take That, James Morrison and various high profile stars in South Korea and Japan, among many others. 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. Mamas Gun have issued six albums to date, the latest DIG! featuring a line up completed by keyboardist Dave Oliver, known for being MD for Lisa Stansfield and guitarist Terry Lewis, a well regarded sideman whose credits include Leon Ware, The Impressions and Rumer, both there from Mamas Gun’s inception; bassist Cameron Dawson, known for playing bass for Cinematic Orchestra, Puma Blue and Joy Crookes, who joined for 2014’s third album Cheap Hotel and Chris Boot, whose playing credits include Alice Russell, Nilufer Yanya and Lucy Rose, the group’s drummer since 2018’s fourth album Golden Days.
