Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Stuart Mason. I play and sing traditional and original songs and tunes on guitar, banjo, and mandola. I design and build web sites, paint watercolors and draw with pen and ink, and I go fishing whenever I can. I live in Los Osos, a small unincorporated beach town in California, about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
I define folk music as the music of the people, from Bill Monroe to Gillian Welch, Django Reinhardt to Jack Johnson, and Michael Coleman to Nickel Creek. If it’s got heart and soul, it’s good. If it’s got some twang or fiddle, even better.
I’m a working musician, I’m a proud member of Molly’s Revenge, a Celtic band based in Santa Cruz, CA, and Little Black Train, a bluegrass-roots band based in San Luis Obispo. I have released a solo record called Appalachian Bride.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with new music, you can email me below.
