BIOGRAPHY

Mason Marcus Turner is a Country & Folk artist hailing from and based in Washington State. He combines the sounds of traditional American folk music, the southern songwriters of the 70s, his own writing and he transforms it into something that is authentically Northwestern and captures listeners everywhere.

 

His show consists of Country & Folk classics spanning from artists like John Prine and Merle Haggard to The Grateful Dead & Gram Parsons. Turner's original music can only be described as authentically true to tradition and pushing the boundaries of what Folk and Americana music can represent.  

 

Mason draws his authenticity from his life experiences of late night fiddle jams, the loud and gritty electricity of the Washington blues scene, the Honky Tonk legends of Nashville, TN, and storytelling songwriters of new and old.  

In his career so far, Turner has played notable venues such as Neumos, Club Passim, The East Room, Hernandos Hideaway, Gold Hill Store, The Triple Door, Nectar Lounge and has shared the stage with acts like Liv Greene, Noah G. Fowler, Ayron Jones, Mark Thornton, Frank Carter Rische, Tiger La Flor, Charissa Hoffman, King Youngblood, and Benicio Bryant

 

For the last 10 years Turner has lived all across the country from Washington to Boston to Nashville, and has toured nationally as an artist, and as a tour manager for artists such as up and coming bluegrass star, Lindsay Lou. Turner has released a couple singles thus far and continues to tour across the west coast with a full length album on the horizon
