Biography: Mason Reed is a truly gifted songwriter. There's no other way to put it. When you listen to his music, you can hear that something special is happening. Even if you can't quite put your finger on it, its happening. Reed's new 5 song EP "You Can't Come Back From Heaven" is evidence that the singer/songwriter genre has not been killed. Americana music hasn't been fluffed over with soft computer generated travis-picking and pop punk vocals. Recorded over 5 days in Los Angeles, CA and produced by Reed and Engineer Steve Holroyd (Ryan Adams/Tom Petty) The new album includes an appearance from Bass master Jorgen Carlsson of the band Gov't Mule. If there's one thing that can be said about Mason Reed, he has a monster work ethic. Reed and band are currently booking a self proclaimed "never ending tour" to support the new EP that will be released Feb 23rd, 2010. "I'm a work horse for sure," says Reed "Road, studio, road, studio, this the schedule we have and I love it. I wouldn't have it any other way. Even the bad days are ok" It comes as no surprise that the first track lyrically reaffirms Reeds love of the troubadour lifestyle "I don't love nobody, but I love that road" The record reflects themes of lost loves and found purpose. It's a gritty bare knuckled representation of giving it all up to face your dreams and demons head on. More information can be found @ www.masonreedmusic.com --- |
