MASON PORTER

While we are waiting patiently for the release of our full length CD on Dec. 19th we have a little surprise for you. Actually it’s not that little, it’s bigger than a CD, it’s a 7in record! Our friend Colin Helb just started up Uncle Nicky Records and the first release is a 7in vinyl with two songs, Mason Porter – A Little Bit of Light and Chris Kasper – Up In My Head. We totally excited to have some vinyl and to be part of Uncle Nicky. For now we have them for sale at shows. Supplies are limited so get yours soon. You can listen to our song on our myspace page. http://myspace.com/masonporter

The Folk Parade was amazing! Much thanks to Barbara and Mike of the Spinning Leaves for putting it together and to all the musicians who came together in a way only we can do it. Our music community is truly one of a kind. And Lisa Schaffer who is always there to capture the moment with her camera.

Below are some pictures from our set, plus one from the encore. We had quite a few people on stage with us: Anna, Bea, and Cass Sadler; Ross Bellenoit, Allison Polans, Barbara Gettes and Mike Baker, and some more folks too I think for our last sing-along. Thanks to all,on stage and off, for sharing those songs with us.
