CDB layers influences from Rock, Reggae, Dub, Funk, Pop, and their self-named New Wave-tronica to form an intimate bond with the audience.  Matt Beckett's funky futuristic bass sounds, Eric Hyland's precise timing on the drums, Matt Dempsey's tasteful guitar licks, and Chris Sellas's keys/synths blend to complete their truly unique sound.

At the end of 2015, New Orleans drumming authority Stanton Moore was preparing to record a new album with his longtime musical partners David Torkanowsky and James singleton. Weeks before the trio was set to record, they received the unfortunate news that Allen Touissant had suddenly passed away while on tour in Spain. “I instantly felt a need to pay tribute to his indelible musical legacy-“ said Moore, realizing that an entire group of artists had just lost the soundtrack to their beloved home of New Orleans. 

Moore wasn’t exactly sure how the collection of songs would turn out once they had started recording at Parlor Studios- fortunately one of the great things about working in New Orleans is the vast pool of talented musicians to pull from. Moore first recruited special guests NIcholas Payton, Donald Harrison Jr. and Trombone Shorty to play together. Once the foundation for the songs was set, vocalists Cyril Neville, Kiki Phillips and Erica Falls were called upon to deliver a voice to the album. As everything developed he added Eric “Benny” Bloom, Skerik, Mark Mullins, Aaron Fletcher on horns and Mike Dillon on percussion as well. The end result is a special record that pays tribute to a musical legend in Allen Toussaint- one that Stanton Moore is ready to share with the world. 

The New Mastersounds are an astonishingly persistent funk/soul-jazz quartet who were founded in Leeds, UK in 1999 by guitarist/producer Eddie Roberts and drummer Simon Allen. They recruited Pete Shand on bass and Bob Birch on organ & piano. Bob left the band in 2007 and was replaced by Joe Tatton.  By the close of 2013 (the time of writing) their discography boasted more than twenty 7" 45rpm singles, 8 studio albums, 2 live albums, 1 remix album and several compilation albums, with one more studio album and another live album already recorded and pegged for release in 2014. The band has toured all over the USA (having visited 38 of the 50 states at last count), Japan, and to a lesser extent in UK & Europe.  Influences include James Brown, Grant Green, Booker T, Lou Donaldson and The Meters, as well as the (mainly) UK-based DJs who exposed the four musicians to the sounds of lesser known funk acts at the vinyl-only club nights of the mid-90's.

WCP's flag ship event, The Rock n Roll Resort, has been gaining nation attention since its inception and is showing no signs of slowing down. Slated to tour the country and ultimately the world, this intimate event was created and is tailored to the 'professional music fan'. Featuring overnight accommodations, full catering, limited attendance and an acclaimed lineup of nationally touring artists, this is the one event of the year not to be missed.

WCP currently acts as a booking agency for a few select northeast venues and offers artist management options for up and coming bands as well as event production.
