Mason Jennings - Singer Song Writer
.jpg)
Well we had the opportunity to take in a Mason Jennings show. And a nice relaxing show it was. Mason Jennings is a modern Bob Dylan of sort, focusing on his song writing in a lyrical fashion... then creating music with a folk sound - tempo. However its not folk in the standard fashion as much of the music even goes to the point of having a punk sound sometimes.
The show was a solid performance with clear strait forward presentation. Mason covered songs from his 3 last albums, with focus on his latest. He is truly a hard working artist, having been in the business since 14, his love for music more than performance is seen at the show. Not flamboyant or explosive, the concert is about the music first foremost and really... only.
We also sat down for an interview with Mason after the show. Since we have it recorded, simply enjoy his answers to the following questions, instead of me misconstruing what he said...
How do you think you have been effected by touring as an artist since the age of 14?
Some say you are a protest singer. Do you consider yourself a Protest Singer?
You have been called the modern day Bob Dylan, would you agree with this statement?
As your fan base grows, do you feel this limits i how creative you can be with your music?
What Genre would you consider your music?
Where does your accent originate? Is it supposed to be Southern?
What does the words Misconstrued Thoughts make you think of?
Mason Jennings a real nice down to earth guy, go see him in concert next time he's in your area. And check out his albums!
