Mason Jennings :: Boulder tomorrow night

Looking for a good show tomorrow night? Of course you are.

Mason Jennings is coming to Boulder's Fox Theatre this Friday with Ferraby Lionheart (that's a fairytale character, right?) and Patrick Park. Mason is growing into a favorite of mine, with a sound that is alternately described as folk-rock-pop, protest-funk-rock . . . etc etc etc. I just call it some of the most fun you can have with an acoustic guitar, a bass, and some fat drum beats.

He's got a wonderfully organic do-it-yourself ethic, from the home-recorded first album, to the forming of his own record label (Architect Records) so that he could release "his music, his way." Now signed to Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock's Glacial Pace label, Mason is still blending introspective, poetic lyrics with inventive and soulful acoustic musicianship.

In the next few days here, I'll have some good interviewin' with Mason to share with you guys -- so brush up now by coming to see him live (TIX):

    enjoy Patrick Park.
    I sent something to about him a long time ago. I don't know if you ever heard it, but he's fantastic.

    The mason acoustic show at first Ave last year was awesome.

    My brother and my sister both love Mason Jennings. I (for whatever reason) don't like him too much. Hmm.

    Hi Heather, I'm actually the guy who runs birdwingsbeat.com, thanks for linking to me! It seems from the above post that you own the Mason Jennings "Living In The Moment EP" (since you link to the live version of Nothing, though that link is dead now). Do you own that EP? If so, is there any chance you'd want to sell it? It's terribly hard to find, and I actually don't have a copy.

    Thanks, and cheers,
