Reece Mastin announces EP and tour

PRESS RELEASE:

It’s been a pretty turbulent last few months for Reece Mastin with a new record label, new management and new music and life isn’t about to slow down anytime soon with the first single from his upcoming EP, Rebel and the Reason, hitting radio tomorrow morning and confirmation tonight of an East Coast tour in June.

Rebel and the Reason is the first single from Reece Mastin’s forthcoming five track EP. It’s set to reveal an edgier, rock-laden new sound that was lying dormant in Reece all along. With big vocals, big drums and a hook that will get into your head for days to come, it is indicative of the new material that will appear on an EP that was twelve months in the making. The anticipation he feels in unleashing new music is matched only by the expectation in his ardent fans.

In support of the EP’s release, Reece will be packing his bags for the Rebel and the Reason Tour starting in Sydney on 12 June before heading to Newcastle, Wollongong, Melbourne, Sale, Brisbane, Caloundra and Toowoomba. All shows on the tour are All Ages.

“I know it seems like it’s been a long time coming but hopefully the fans will agree it was worth the wait. I can definitely say that this is completely 100% me and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out. I’m in a really good place and can’t wait to share the new songs with everyone,” Reece said.

“The live shows on the tour are going to be a mix of old and new and I’m looking forward to playing the new songs live and LOUD,” he added.

Reece Mastin burst onto the scene in late 2011 with his debut album going double Platinum and hitting #1 as well as three consecutive singles that all worked their way into the Top 5 of the ARIA charts. A genuine talent with a natural ability Reece has been writing songs and playing the guitar since the age of 12 and he has continued to hone his craft over the years by working with and learning from some of Australia’s greatest musicians.

Members of the Reece Mastin Fan Club (RMFC) will have early access to tickets for the Rebel and the Reason Tour from 5.00pm local times on Monday, 23 March until 5.00pm on Tuesday, 24 March (excl. Sale) when general public tickets go on sale.
