MASON PORTER

Here are some great photos by Nick Silvester of our show at The Box in Charlottesville, VA from 9/4/11.

Here are some great photo’s from Sunday by Lisa Schaffer.

Summer is rolling along quite nicely. We had a great time at the Smoked Country Jam this past weekend. Some bands we really loved were the Stevens Family Band and the Hillbilly Gypsies.

This Friday we find ourselves in Northern, PA once again at the Bull Frog Brew Pub in Wiliamsport.

Sunday we are doing playing a benefit show in memory of Daniel Pevar the Note in West Chester. Dan was a friend of the band and local artist/songwriter/film maker who passed away this past spring. Proceeds go to the Dan Pevar memorial scholarship to the Chester County Art Association. Also playing is Hoots and Hellmouth and Rob Melso. More on this event here.

Re-order Porter month has been a lot of fun so far. Two more Wednesdays left. The week it’s the Joe D’Amico Band.

Upcoming shows:
Friday, June 24th Bullfrog Brew Pub, Williamsport, PA
Sunday, June 26th The Note, West Chester, PA
Saturday, July 2nd OATS Fest, Benton, PA
Sunday, July 3rd Elk Creek Café, Millheim, PA

We are pretty excited to announce that Boxcar Brewing Company brewed a delicious Mason Porter (a beer that is) recently. We got to enjoy some at Maysie’s Farm Fest. We are not sure what their plans for the future of this beer are, but we are hoping to see some more in the future. Much thanks to Jamie Robinson and the folks at Boxcar.

We have a busy summer ahead. We’ll be traveling to many of our favorite places and to many new spots as well. Most dates are listed on our tour page, but some are still to be confirmed, so please visit us on facebook and here at masonporter.com to keep up to date on things.

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.
