Only 19-years old and this singer-songwriter has already been compared to Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie or Johnny Cash, with his earnest protest songs and with grunge and punk cynicism to boot!
An incredible series of events has propelled his career since he performed his song “Oxygen” on a local radio station. This was followed by tours with Rosanne Cash, My Morning Jacket, Evan Dando, Beth Orton and labelmates Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins.
Critics will always be amazed that the songs on “Where the Humans Eat” were written by a teenager.
He combines the folk music of his family tradition with the revolutionary attitude of his generation’s heroes, Nirvana and Rage Against the Machine.
Between world tours, Mason takes time to relax and rethink.
His fourth album, ‘Already Dead’, marks a whopping nine years since his last release, 2013’s enchanting ‘Carry On’.
Listening to Mason’s voice is like welcoming back an old pal; you might not have seen each other in years, but getting along with them comes as second nature.
Willy’s music has traveled great lengths over the years but still comes from the heart. His voice and performances have only improved with age. Todays shows are tight and powerful; full of passion and conviction, humor and love.Willy Mason and his band will be returning to the UK in May of 2024 in anticipation of a new album later in the year. And they’ll be making a special visit to Belgium’s Roots & Roses. Their only gig in Belgium – don’t miss it!
