Steve Mason Announces new single and festival appearances

Steve Mason has announced the release of a new single, Am I Just A Man, through Double Six on Monday July 26th 2010.

The single is taken from his recent much-applauded solo album, Boys Outside, which was released in early May. The 10-track album was produced by Richard X and Steve Mason and also features the singles Lost & Found and All Come Down.

Having previously recorded as both King Biscuit Time and Black Affair, both largely electronic based projects, Steve Mason enlisted the help of producer Richard X and consciously made a decision to go back to basics; the album was written entirely on acoustic guitar with many of the finished tracks stripped back to reveal his undoubted songwriting talent.

Currently rehearsing for his first run of solo shows, Mason has already announced a number of festival appearances over the summer. He will also shortly announce a full UK headline tour for the autumn.

The full list of festival shows are as follows:

12th Parklife Festival, Manchester

24th Truck Festival, Abingdon
25th The Applecart Festival, Shoreditch Park, London
