Mason Jennings is a Minnesota-based pop-folk singer-songwriter. 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 tenor’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’ political 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.
