The Masterless Men, a favorite Newfoundland Band from St. John's, had their audiences spellbound with their unbelievable showcases around ECMA 2001 in early February. The band formed in 1991, emerged on the music scene from Southern > Newfoundland, inspired by their forefathers. The band is led by John Curran of Ferryland. John has touched the hearts of many with his fine song writing, multi-talented musicianship, and his extremely gifted tenor voice, known for delivering the sweetest of ballads and rich traditional Irish songs. Chuck Lewis, the band's member can lend his powerful voice to a masterful rousing hand-clapping, toe-tapping song; a moment later, he can deliver a love song with tenderness and emotion. Dave Lush's fiery, Celtic bluegrass banjo virtuosity is stunning, and his wry wit belies his other proficiencies as a drummer, keyboardist, harmonica player, and background singer. Perry Dawe's mandolin magic exemplifies his mastering of the stringed instruments. His tremendous bass-baritone voice adds so much to the groups superb vocal harmonies. Bob Wiseman, a journeyman musician, surrounds the group's sound and brings it all to one with his Fender jazz bass, while adding his soft harmony vocals to what is now complete. Together, The Masterless Men deliver a highly unusual and unique fusion of songs and music combining original, Celtic, bluegrass, folk and popular musical elements...with passion, precision and professionalism.
