Willy Mason has been chasing his songs around the world since 2004, when a song he recorded at a friends house in high school was picked up and played regularly on Radio One in the UK while he was still burning discs at home in the US. Since then he has played stadiums and backyards around the world with all manner of accompaniments and collaborations, including a 300 piece choir, saw and trumpet, MIDI powered robot percussionist, swarmatron, and with a wide range of popular and working bands. All this touring as well as his work teaching and playing in the lively dance band bar scene at home has honed him into as much of a musician and singer as a songwriter, his first recognized talent. He is currently at work on a 4th album which is likely to exhibit a range of influences not yet captured on his earlier recordings; including the Mills Brothers, Steve Reich, and Snooks Eaglin.
