about
Mason Casey is a dynamic, bold and truly unique harmonica player, singer and songwriter. Mason's music reflects the bare bones, raw and powerful energy that is distinctive to New York, where he was born and raised. Though now living in Los Angeles, it is in New York where he crafted his style of soulful Blues that mixes Modern Blues with elements of Soul, Funk, RnB, Acid Jazz and Latin American rhythms. During the 1990's, Mason quickly ascended the ranks of Manhattan’s Blues scene that produced local talent Joan Osborne, The Spin Doctors, The Holmes Brothers and Popa Chubby. He was billed as "New York City's Number One Blues Harmonica Player" from 1994 through 2001 and was a mainstay at NYC clubs: Manny's Car Wash, Chicago Blues, Mondo Cane, Dan Lynch’s, Mondo Perso, and The Bitter End. It was in partnering with Popa Chubby that Mason got his first break in the record business. In 2000, the Popa Chubby produced recording "Reefer Smokin' Man" (Dixiefrog Records) received national and international press along with critical praise. The team of Chubby and Casey would go on to record "Soul On Fire" (2001 Dixiefrog Records) and "Deep Blue Dream" (2003 Dixiefrog Records). Through the strength of these records, along with his powerful live performances, Mason has been booked on the stages of international festivals and in clubs throughout the US, Europe, Brazil and South Africa. People are discovering a fresh new talent that is willing to break the mold of the Blues Purist/Traditio
