BRASSTRACKS TO RELEASE NEW EP WELCOME BACK JULY 9 TITLE-TRACK PREMIERES TODAY TO PERFORM AT BLUE NOTE’S SUMMER FESTIVAL ON JULY 2 AND JULY 3

June 30, 2021—Welcome Back, the new EP from Grammy Award-Winning duo Brasstracks is set for release on July 9. In conjunction with today’s announcement, the duo debuts an instrumental infused cover of Mase’s hit single “Welcome Back.” The new music marks a creative rebirth for Brasstracks who are starting anew as they release their forthcoming Welcome Back EP independently. Fans can listen to/share the title-track HERE.   “In the past couple months, we went through a big shift. We got vaccinated. We announced our first live in person show since November 2019. And we became independent artists again. To celebrate all of these things, we wanted to put out some music that hits home and makes you feel good. Some of the stuff that our audience has grown to know us for, with a little twist,” says Brasstracks co-founder Ivan Jackson. “The ‘Welcome Back’ cover felt like the perfect note to start on. These songs are just the start. We have a lot of music to get off our hard drives this year. We’ve been quiet enough, so it’s time to make some noise. You can call this our entrance music.”   In addition, Brasstracks will take their lauded live show back on the road this summer and fall. The duo kicks things off with multiple performances at Blue Note Jazz Club’s Summer Festival on July 2 and July 3. Additional details on forthcoming performances to be announced soon.   Brasstracks was co-founded by Ivan Jackson and Conor Rayne while studying jazz at New York’s Manhattan School of Music. Since forming in 2014, the duo have become one of music’s most in-demand horn/percussion duos, collaborating with the likes of Harry Styles, Anderson .Paak, Khalid, Mark Ronson and Wyclef Jean. In 2016, Brasstracks produced Chance The Rapper's hit single “No Problem,” which subsequently led to Grammy Wins for “Best Rap Performance” as well as “Best Rap Album” due to their contributions on Coloring Book.   Brasstracks released their debut album Golden Ticket in 2020 to widespread critical praise. The record featured an eclectic mix of collaborators, including modern rap and R&B titans such as Common, Masego, Tarriona “Tank” Ball of Tank & The Bangas, Robert Glasper and more.   WELCOME BACK TRACKLIST 1.
