Mason Porter

About Me

"Women, booze, drunks and hobos populate most of this West Chester quartet’s songs; so does mandolin, dobro guitar and upright bass, with which Mason Porter makes a rousing racket like a folk–bluegrass Replacements, offering humor and accomplished playing in equal measures."
Michael Alan Goldberg, Philadelphia Weekly

"The music of Mason Porter could be best described as alternative bluegrass, and while the instrumentation is acoustic, their music borrows from genres such as acid rock, jazz, and punk. In this debut recording, the eclectic trio show musical prowess that is difficult to overlook."
Les McIntyre, Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine

"Mason Porter is capable of ramping up from a delicate three-part harmony to an all-out hand-clappin' jam, to take the energy in the room from a whisper to a roar within seconds. This is the allure of Mason Porter that can only be experienced when you witness their show firsthand."
Kevin Stanton, Ticket Entertainment

"Mason Porter's songs are incredibly catchy...above anything else, Mason Porter is just plain fun."
Brian McCarthy, The Phoenix
