Music has certainly been a part of Massachusetts-born Jeff Mason's life for longer than he can remember. If you ask his family they will tell you he was singing before he could talk. When he was very young he took to instruments of all types but very quickly progressed on the piano since that was what he had in his Enfield NH home. He began writing songs on piano around the age of 10 years old but began showing more interest in his older brothers guitar. While living in Florida at the age of 13, his parents bought him an acoustic. Three days later in Kissimmee Jeff's band experience began with his friend Kent on drums (It’s probably best there are no recordings of that). Since then, he has never been without a guitar.

As soon as Jeff graduated high school he began making a living playing music. Since then and like most musicians, Jeff has played in a number of bands during his musical journey. Sometimes on Bass, other times on guitar. Most of these groups including, The Austin Winch Band, The Cast and Devout enjoyed mild success in the club circuit but all of these experiences helped develop his style. In the mid 90’s after a brief hiatus from live gigs, Jeff brought a group of musicians together to finish recording a number of his original songs.

This was the beginning of "Rock Mason" It was immediately clear that there was something special about this music and the band decided to take it to the road. Now known as The Jeff Mason Band at the advice of a friend, this group of great musicians and friends alike have the drive to make music their vehicle for success. As the songwriter, vocalist and guitarist for the band, Jeff finds new inspiration each time he plays with this great group of guys. There is a magic generated among these players that all musicians strive to feel. Many of the songs on the Jeff Mason Band's debut record, “Get Busy Living,” have a timeless staying power that is felt immediately upon first listen. Check the JMB out Live at their next show.

Matt started out playing on an old bouzouki his grandfather gave to him when he was eight. It was fun for him to play classic Greek songs like "Zorba the Greek," but when he started playing Led Zeppelin and the Beatles, he knew it was time for a real guitar. And so began his quest for those moments in music when everything converges and the magic happens. His grandmother used to say, "That boy is always playing Rock and Roll with misbehaving kids, but I do like it when he plays like Elvis". By the time he was 17, he was regularly gigging and has since made the rounds from Maine to Florida, and even played for the masses at Woodstock, '94. Matt knew what he wanted musically and was sure that he would fit right into what the JMB had going on. The Band Agrees....Matt plays Fender guitars and amps. Come see the energy Matt adds to the JMB at the next show.

Bruce Carr began playing bass at the age of 12 and has since graced stages from Maine to California playing bass, singing and writing with many great bands along the way. One of Bruce's greatest assets is his understanding of the bass guitar's role in a song. "It's not what you can play, studying music theory can teach you that, It's what you don't play that ultimately makes your contributions original " Come see bruce lay it down at our next show.

John K. aka "OOBY " has been around the block a time or two. Before finding his home with the JMB, John spent time playing with the likes of Commander Coty, Buddy Cage and Ruth Pointer just to name a few. Drumming was never a choice but rather a desire that would never fade. He was introduced to Jeff Mason by long time friend and bassist Bruce Carr whom he had played with off and on over the years. He and Bruce are the well oiled machine that deliver the rock solid rhythmic bottom of the JMB. Come see them working it live at the next show…..

John plays DW drums and Zildjian cymbals and can be reached at john@jeffmasonband.com
