This is where Tony Sings

Welcome to place where Tony Mason and his music is the subject. Tony has come out of musical retirement and this page started construction on June 18, 2003. It went dorment again for a couple of years but is again being revised in the late winter of 2010. The picture is very recent and was done at home with Teddy's help. New promo kits are almost ready and I am trying to get out at least once a week to an open mic or other local venue to keep my chops up. I have an MP3 that is a demo of several songs if you want to sample some music. This Short Demo is a 5 minute selection and is about 5 megabytes.

In digging through some history I found some old posters from performances in the past. Here is a composite of 4 of them.

From the Back of the Equipment Case

Hi, I am Tony Mason-Sherwood. I have performed around New England for many years under the name Tony Mason. I recently discovered that there are a couple of other Tony Mason's who are musicians. If this confuses you, it confuses me too. The world is getting smaller and we are finding out more about what is here all the time. For this reason I am including a picture of myself on this page that should help narrow the field.

In the beginning I was a traditional folk musician performing the music of the 1960s with an eye on the political and social issues of the time. Through my friends and my listening I got involved with blues and found myself drawn to the style of music more and more over time. I tried an electric guitar and found that it offered me new options and over time added more and more electronics to my solo performance. I have a good time with the fullness of the sound of all the instruments added to the guitar. It is a never ending journey because there are always new things to try and experiment doing. I am also noticing that my perspective is different as I grow and change everything reveals new options.

Well when you are looking to go out and hear some music here are some places and times when Tony will be performing.

Here are a few connections to other points of interest.

I am going to keep a logbook of this site.

If you want promo materials there are some photos and a little history If you want to know about the progress we have made with this site take a look. It will be text only.

The Mason Town web pages contain a very scatered and incomplete family history from several years. Most of the images and stories there now are about 10 years old.
