RICHARD BARONE & JAMES MASTRO: NUTS & BOLTS REVISITED TOUR
City Winery Philadelphia presents RICHARD BARONE & JAMES MASTRO: NUTS & BOLTS REVISITED TOUR live on Thursday, Apr 30th at 7:30pm.
In 1983, Richard Barone and James Mastro of The Bongos, taking a break after an extensive U.S. tour that produced a batch of new songs written in hotel rooms, planes, and dressing rooms, released a duo album called Nuts & Bolts. Recorded in North Carolina with Mitch Easter (REM, Let's Active), the album had a more acoustic and intimate feel compared to The Bongos’ recordings, showing a different side of the two musicians. Influenced by folk-rock and power-pop sounds, full of hooks and harmonies, and performed with their signature spontaneous energy, the album received critical acclaim and appeared on many best-of-the-year lists (including People magazine!).
Shortly after releasing Nuts & Bolts, The Bongos made their RCA Records debut, and Richard and James resumed touring with the band. Only a handful of live duo shows were played in support of Nuts & Bolts, and the original label, Passport Records, folded, making copies of Nuts & Bolts an instant collector’s item. Originally issued only on vinyl LP and cassette, it was never digitized or released on CD until now.
Fast forward to spring 2026, and Iconoclassic Records is releasing the meticulously restored and remastered Nuts & Bolts as a deluxe, annotated CD. Richard and James are celebrating the release with select live performances in the Northeast and South that will feature the long-lost sounds of Nuts & Bolts, along with other songs from their rich catalogs, for both new and longtime fans.
