This week has emphasized the “Father” aspect of being the Celtfather! Among the many things going on in life, a lot of shows are coming up – pretty much one every weekend between now and DragonCon. GenCon is also ready to go, with the Firefly Concert being sold out, and the Cat Songs Concert only having 60 tickets left – come on out, I'd love to see you at any or all of my shows!
Mason Brown
Celtic Music Spotlight: Mason Brown
New Album: I am a Handsome Devil (2015)
Mason Brown is a singer-songwriter and guitarist operating in the space where historical traditions and creative expression intersect. Like the troubadours of old, his music evokes universal themes of love and heartbreak; suffering and joy. Singing in a warm, retracted baritone accompanied by intricate finger-style guitar and sonorous viols, he deftly animates original compositions and respectfully resurrects neglected songs and tunes. In a way that feels both ancient and fresh, Brown's music valorizes the romantic and privileges dark beauty.
Personal Fact: Mason is an ethnomusicologist studying Tibetan music in Nepal.
