Mason Jennings is a Minnesota-based . Jennings is originally from Honolulu, Hawaii. He is well known for his simple yet catchy melodies, intimate lyrics, intensely literary and historical themes, and deep ’s voice. His music has appeared in the surf film Shelter and he has toured extensively. Jennings is married to Amy Jennings (nee Turany) and has a son, August, born in January 2003.

Jennings produced his self-titled debut album in 1997 on an analog four-track in the basement of a rented home, manning all instruments himself. In October 1998, after bringing drummer Chris Stock and bassist Robert Skoro on board, he began a weekly gig at Minneapolis’ 400 Bar as the Mason Jennings Band. Garnering local praise and a wide fan base, Mason began touring nationally.

His 2000 album Birds Flying Away revealed Jennings’ activism and penchant for singing first-person narratives of imaginary rustic characters. Following the release of this album, Noah Levy took over drumming duties from Stock.

2002 saw the release of two albums: the studio piece Century Spring and a “fans only” collection of acoustic rarities, Simple Life. An EP supporting Century Spring was also released, featuring the album’s opening track, “Living In The Moment,” two live tracks, and the previously-unreleased “Emperor Ashoka.” Jennings released all three discs — and re-released his earlier albums — on his homebrewed record label, Architect Records.

    Hey, some friends of mine are doing very well with their latest track right now. They're at #1 in the iTunes singer/songwriter charts and really want to hit to UK Top 40 if possible! You can check out both artists (Elliott Morris & Dancing Lotus) here on last.fm, but I recommend you youtube them as it will blow your mind. Anyway if you could purchase this track for only 79p and share the love to others and help the cause it would be much appreciated! Frank Turner, Andy McKee, Newton Faulkner, Dave McPherson, Seth Lakeman and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly already have, having played with the artists before, as well as Dale Campbell, Simon Bates, Tom Robinson and Adrian Lester! Cheers =) x http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/spend-some-time/id429484178?i=429484186
