The Masons are Keeping the Groove Going
We are really looking forward to a busy and successful season in the 2022 Summer Season! The Pandemic years of 2020 and 2021 certainly slowed all of the music industry down, but The Masons did not stop!! Because live shows were scaled back in such a big way, the down time gave us an opportunity to finish our own home studio and prepare to record our next CD!!
The Masons Trio
We have had the great pleasure to welcome our friend, Mark Dinaldo on Drums & Percussion to the stage with us at many of our live shows this summer! Mark worked with us on our CD, "Hard Life" adding a driving beat, and was such fun to work with that we wanted to work with him more to see where ths music could go!

Summer 2018 Recording in the Brown House
The Masons spent much of Summer 2018 dedicated to our new CD, "Hard Life". Logging in over 120 hours in the studio, and working with our good friend Greg DeWitt (Engineer/Producer) at the Brown House in Fairmont WV, we have come away with a product that we are excited tp release before the end of this year.
"Hard Life" features 5 original songs, including the title track, and unique arrangements of two of our favorite covers.
We were so fortunate to bring in the talent of our buddy, Mark Dinaldo, providing good vibes, drums and percussion.
The recording of this CD was tremendous experience and a work in patience to achieve exactly what we wanted to produce, and the results were so worth the time.
Look for "Hard Life" this December!
