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.

We are very excited to announce the official release of the debut Mason Porter CD!!! In January Mason Porter spent a few days at MilkBoy Recording Studio in Ardmore, PA. We came away with a six song EP that we couldn’t be happier with. We brought on board our friend Tom Hamilton (American Babies, Brothers Past) as producer for the project. In combination with engineer Cody Cichowski they did an amazing job getting us to play and sound our best. Cody and Joel Metzler mixed the CD at MilkBoy this past spring.

The CD is now available at CDBaby.com, here on the Mason Porter website and at our shows. A little later this summer the CD will be available on Itunes and a number of other popular download sites.

The track list is as follows:
1. After The Day Is Done
2. If Whiskey Don’t Kill Me
3. Cold Rain
4. Ruby
5. The Ballad Of Ann Cotton
6. Coming Home

This is really a milestone for us and the list of people we want to thank is very long. First and foremost our families and friends who give us constant support. We are forever grateful for them and we could never do this without them. The folks at MilkBoy (Cody, Joel, Tommy, Jamie, Tom, Patty, Joe, Tim , etc.). Tom Hamilton. All of the venues who have welcomed us in the past year especially MIlkBoy Coffee, the Brickette Lounge, Steel City, The Fire, Dawson Street Pub, and the Tin Angel. All of the bands we have been honored to share the stage with especially our friends Hoots and Hellmouth and Wissahickon Chicken Shack.

The reenactment of the famous “running out of the theater” scene is at 9:00 just following our show.

Here is some more detailed info on Blob Fest from the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Thanks to Mike Wuerstle, The Grillbillies, and everyone who we got to meet and hang out with at OATS last weekend. We had a super time Thursday and regret not getting to stay the whole fest.

Also, our CD is out and we’ve been selling them at shows, info on how to purchase it online will follow in the next day or two.
