We want to thank everyone who made it out to the Bucks County Bluegrass Festival. We had a great time at the festival and we’re happy to say our presale was a success as well. Also, we want to thank every on up at Snipes for they’re great hospitality and for putting on a great event.

We have a few weeks to chill now but our fall is getting quite busy already!!!

We’re starting things off at MilkBoy Coffee on Saturday Sept. 6th.
It’s an amazing lineup with Painted Blue, Wissahickon Chicken Shack and ourselves.
Presale has begun already on TicketLeap or hit http://milkboycoffee. com for more details.

Plenty of dates on our tour page right now and new ones getting added all the time so stop by and say hello.

Saturday August 9th we’re joining Cabinet, Free Grass Union and many other fine bands at the Bucks County Bluegrass Festival at Snipes Farm in Morisville, Pa just north of Philadelphia. It’s guaranteed to be a great night of music followed by all night jam sessions in the campground.

TICKETS ARE ONLY $10 in advance and you can buy them here. As always they are a little more more expensive at the door.

This our last show of the summer, next show is not until September at MilkBoy

Thanks to Bob, and everyone at the Endless Summer Jam Fest! We had an awesome time last weekend!

This Saturday the 26^th we’re playing at the Endless Summer Jam Festival! The festival takes place at the Paradise Lake Campground in Hammonton, NJ. The festival is a little different that the other’s we have been playing this summer as it is not a bluegrass festival. So if you’re a MP fan but are not into a full weekend of bluegrass this is the festival for you. Some of the headlining bands include The Juggling Suns, Monacy, Bodega, and a about 40 bands altogether. Our set is at 2:30 on Saturday and we’ll be jammin’ in the campground all weekend!

Tickets are available for the whole weekend for $65 from us in advance. Just EMAIL US FOR A DISCOUNTED TICKET. (Tickets are more expensive at the door.) masonporter @ gmail . com

Also, we’re at the Bucks County Bluegrass Festival two Saturdays from now (8/9) and we have tickets for that too! This is our last show until September.

We been having a pretty great time playing different festivals this summer (thanks OATS and NEPA!) and getting to meet a lot of new folks and spread our music around. We’re really grateful for all the support people have given us and we thank you! We have a couple more festivals coming up in July and August.

WE HAVE TICKETS AVAILABLE TO BOTH. PLEASE EMAIL US at MASONPORTER at GMAIL . COM FOR TICKETS

Next Saturday the 26th we’re playing at the Endless Summer Jam Festival in Hammonton, NJ. Some great jam bands such as Juggling Suns, Monacy, Bodega, and a total of around 40 bands will be there.
