Andy Mason, is a local folk singer/songwriter/musician. A Bay Area native, his songs are crafted around local happenings, social movements, political issues, hometown pride and raw human experiences. Expect to here songs about the iraq war, pollution, frustrations with modern life, cops, women, booze, and being thirsty. His songs are reminiscent of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings.

Excellent singer/songwriter folk CD. Pick up a copy today! “Songs From Town” from the talented folk singer/songwriter Andy Mason is an ear-opening audio experience! Tackling real-life political, social, and personal issues, the contents of these “Songs From Town” are very intimate, meeting listeners on a very personal level. The CD features Andy's clever and thoughtful lyrics and songwriting. Vocally, Andy consistently delivers great tone and emotion. “Alhambra Way” shows off Andy’s skillful acoustic guitar work and fit-for-folk vocals. A lack of heavy production and the use of only acoustic guitars and harmonica add to the warm, intimate appeal of this CD. Fans of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash will personally connect to these honest reflections!

My attempts to create an Open at the Mama Buzz Cafe have failed. The will be no open mic at the Mama Buzz cafe. The "Every Second Sunday" open mic has been double booked for the second month in a row. It is clear I'm not suited to be the host of an open mic. Thank you all for your interest and support. My sincerest apologies to all musicians poets that hoped and even planned for this open mic.
Just dropping by to say hi and thanks for the friendship! Also I'm playing a show tomorrow night at The Union Room in SF to raise awareness for missing persons. Hope you can check it out! Cheers, Katie

Andy Mason turns in a compelling and seasoned effort on his fine new CD, “Stories Told,” a stripped-down, 9-song set of original contemporary folk songs. Sounding, at times, much like veteran singer-songwriter, Loudon Wainwright III, the San Francisco-based Mason dashes off hooks and intriguing narratives with the ease and carelessness of one who has plenty to spare. Comparable to - but not as laid back as - Jack Johnson, Mason’s best songs, like “Glowin Ember” and “Dark Eyed Junco,” come ready-equipped with the kind of melodies that are both immediate and lasting. Other terrific numbers, like “Teatime” and “Piano Chords,” find the folk singer weaving words and spinning yarns with the acumen of a practiced storyteller. With only minimal accompaniment, Mason’s bright and ringing acoustic guitar sets the tone for all his songs, but it’s his wayfaring troubadour’s voice that sets these performances apart from many a singer. For fans of Dylan, Steve Goodman, John Prine, or Steve Forbert, Andy Mason’s “Stories Told” CD continues the tradition of meaningful and endearing American folk music.
Thanks for adding me! THE METAL DELI & THE ROCK DELI are podcasts featuring the BEST in independent and minor-label musicians! Check out these links to hear the latest show or for submission information!
We saw you at the Roswell Library. We wanted to catch you at Northpark in Dallas but couldn't make it. I need to know how to order some kids songs. My 2 yr old won't stop singing "everybody likes pizza" and my stepdaughter is obsessed with the burrito song.
