Born in Baltimore, Md. Mason was playing in area clubs at age 12 with his step father, Peabody graduate Jerry Burns. Mason moved to Sareasota Fla in the late 70's and ended up working with some of the major talent in that region. In the mid eighties Mason was in a heavy metal band called "Armed Force" who won first place out of over 100 local bay area bands in the the 1985 Tampa bay battle of the bands. Mason later met Chris Anderson of the OUTLAWS fame and formed Chris Anderson and The Collision, where they opened up for major acts such as 38 Special and The Guess Who. By the early 90's Mason had relocated to Nashville Tn where he continues writing and playing with the likes of Chris Anderson (The Outlaws) Johnny Neel (Allman brothers) Richard Aspinwal (Garth Brooks) Jeff Coffin (Bella Fleck) Mason met Doug Jones through Johnny Neel in Nashville and the two partnerd up with Mason.Jones Publishing writing hundreds of songs together. One of their songs called "More than you'll ever know" is currently being released by Charles Walker, a popular R & B artist in Europe this year. Other artists featured on Mason's music are David Northrup, drummer and band leader for Travis Tritt... Randy Coleman, well respected session bassist for Johnny Neel among others and band leader for The Patsy Cline story at the Ryman... Rickey and Ronnie Godfrey who are both amazing singer song writers from Nashville. Mason is still living and writing in Nashville and will be producing a new CD by next fall. In April of 2007 Mason and Chris Andersn began collaborating on a new song called "Trail of Tears" for The Outlaws newest CD release "Once an Outlaw". What began as more of a play on words morphed into a work that has been called " The greatest new topical song since Roger McGuinn's Back From Rio in 1990", "Trail of Tears tells a story without seeing pictures.. it's just one of those songs, and they're very rare these days". It went from a song of love gone bad, to the true story of how our government raped and pillaged the Cherokee people, stealing their sacred land and systematically driving them from their homes at gun point some 3,000 miles across country, many never surviving the journey. Mason remembers how the aproach to writing those lyrics where so much more different than any song he'd ever written. Mason recalls, "We had to study the history in depth first, so we could grasp the story that made up one of the darkest chapters in american history". Trail of Tears is being hailed as An Outlaws instant classic, and can be heard here at www.OutlawsWorld.com or on youtube under Outlaws trail of tears. The song writing team of Mason Anderson also just recorded the remake of the great Lennon protest song, "Give Peace a Chance" and made it a rally cry for Presidencial Peace candidate Dr. Ron Paul. The song was played on 30 talk radio stations between talk show segments with Dr. Paul, featured on the "Bands for Ron Paul" compilation CD as well as the radio spot for the CD.

"You cannot be free by obeying the rules. You cannot be free by waiting for someone to rescue you. You cannot be free simply by hoping for a brighter day tomorrow. Freedom comes from within. It does not come from without. It does not come from a charismatic leader. It does not come with a set of instructions. It does not come from being raised with doses of discipline and dogma. It does not come from being given your freedom only after you prove yourself to your parents, teachers, pastors, or other authority figures. It does not come from any God who demands obedience before He promises blessings (or threatens curses). It does not come from delineated rights. It does not come from The Constitution. It is you from whom freedom springs. It is you in whom freedom thrives. No one gave it to you. Like Dorothy and her ruby slippers, your way home was with you all the time. You just didn't realize it. Do you understand? You are freedom. Contrary to that tiresome cliché, freedom is free. -- B.R. Merrick.
