Mamas Gun is a London-based five-piece soul band founded in 2007 by singer, songwriter and producer Andy Platts. Drawing on classic American R&B and soul from the 1960s and 70s, the band built an international following - particularly in Japan, where their 2009 debut Routes to Riches hit #3 on the Billboard chart and made them the most-played foreign act on Japanese radio. Six studio albums in, their 2026 release DIG! - recorded live to 16-track tape and featuring Gil Scott-Heron collaborator Brian Jackson - is widely regarded as their finest work yet.
Mamas Gun released their sixth studio album DIG! on April 10, 2026, recorded live to 16-track tape and featuring Brian Jackson on the title track.
The band released the single 'Joy' in March 2026, the third advance single from DIG!, described as gospel-tinged soul featuring Andy Platts on lead vocals.
The title track 'DIG!' featuring Brian Jackson was released as the second advance single on February 4, 2026.
Mamas Gun launched a 2026 UK headline tour starting March 6 in Norwich, taking in Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and London.
The band's touring schedule for 2026 extends to continental Europe, with a confirmed date in Groningen, Netherlands on May 12, 2026.
