Mason Douglas

 

In a time where everything you hear on the radio has long sounded the same.... 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, Chris Isaak, 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.
