Mason Jennings

Mason Jennings is a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter who’s been crafting heartfelt folk-rock and indie-folk tunes since the late ‘90s. Born in Hawaii and raised in Pittsburgh, this self-taught musician gained a loyal following for his raw, poetic lyrics and warm, stripped-down sound. After self-releasing his debut album in 1997, he became a linchpin of the Midwest indie scene, later signing to Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records for albums like *Bone Clouds* and *In the Ever*. Known for his DIY ethos and knack for storytelling, Jennings mixes earnest originals with unexpected covers (like his soulful take on Poison’s *Every Rose Has Its Thorn*). His recent work, including *Magnifier* and *Holy Dive*, continues to blend introspective themes with earthy instrumentation, proving he’s still got that same authentic vibe that’s kept fans hooked for over two decades.
