In a time where everything you hear on the radio has long sounded the same, ladies and gentlemen: help has finally arrived. Mason Douglas, a Tucson, AZ native currently making his home in Nashville, TN, has already begun to make his mark by amassing a diverse following of loyal fans of country music, along with acoustic, soul, and pop. Drawing influence from the likes of Patty Griffin, Radney Foster, Rob Thomas, and Garth Brooks, Mason Douglas is bringing back the focus on the song, the songwriter, and an unforgettable performance to fuse the two. With an incomparable voice, a rugged yet distinguished image, and an ultimately dynamic stage presence, Mason has become one of country music's newest and hottest artists.
In 2007, Mason's original song "Home Free", gained national media attention and airplay throughout the USA on the syndicated "Big D & Bubba Show", opening the airwaves for other Mason Douglas songs like "Beautiful You" and "The Blues Never Looked Good On You". That year also found him sharing audiences with other popular artists such as Trace Adkins, Terri Clark, Jewel, Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, bringing his extraordinary energy and voice to larger and larger crowds throughout the USA. When asked about his rising status, Douglas says "As long as they're listening, I'll be playing".
Mason recently signed a recording deal with Rural Rhythm Records, planning on a Fall 2008 release of his first solo studio album. The majority of the songs on this freshman album have been written and/or co-written by Douglas. With every song he writes, Mason draws from his own life adventures and experiences to tell the story. Mason's eye for what works and ear for what sounds amazing are what sets him apart from the the others artists saturating the airwaves today: "There's a lot of music available these days and some people say that a lot of it sounds the same," Mason muses. "I have heard more and more compliments about my music offering a fresh sound to the audience and that really means the world to me. That's really all I'm trying to do." Mason natural ability to capture a listener is notably a gift that every performer should strive for.
Aside than his extraordinary love for music and performing, Mason Douglas is inspired and motivated everyday by a truly unique event that he experienced in February of 2000. Brand new to Nashville, Mason happened to meet one of his true idols at the world famous Bluebird Café in Nashville: Garth Brooks. Garth personally told Mason to "stick with it, no matter what" to which Mason promised, "I will". To this day, Mason Douglas has kept his promise. Take a listen and you'll understand why we should all be glad he did.
