Tom Mason Slide Guitar Christmas CD

Chameleon. Conjurer. Renaissance man. Mark Horn of The Derailers calls him "The Mad Scientist of Rock and Roll". Life is a department store and Tom Mason is running up and down the aisles filling his pockets. A fine guitarist, a sizzling slide player, and a passionate songwriter, Mason is above all an entertainer, eager to share his lust for life every time he straps on a guitar or steps up to a microphone. His songs are a swampy mix of Rock, Country, and Latin, steeped in the Blues, with cinematic lyrics that transport the listener to strange and mysterious places. Tom Mason has released two CDs, Where Shadows Fall , and A Slide Guitar Christmas , a collection of slide guitar instrumentals, and is currently working on his third, Alchemy. He is a favorite in Nashville area nightclubs, and moonlights as lead guitarist and resident performance artist with lower Broadway stalwarts Swampgrass. As an actor he has performed at theater festivals and nightclubs, and works frequently as a character actor in film and video. Last year Tom was seen playing guitar on billboards all over Nashville advertising the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, and these days he can be seen on national television playing Dobro at the Country Music Hall of Fame in an ad for the state of Tennessee.
