Austin City Limits National Spotlight: Willy Mason
Saturday, Sept. 15th 11:45-12:30pm Dell Stage
Staring off Austin City Limits on Saturday is young and witty Massachusetts guitarist/singer-songwriter, Willy Mason. Keeping true to the classic structures of country and blues, Mason peppers his songs with a keen humor and Dylan-esque lyrical narrative. His singing voice is uniquely his own. Just old enough to enjoy a Lone Star after this gig, Mason’s star potential is rising and is a great compliment to this year’s lineup. Listen to "We Can Be Strong" on the Download of Week. www.willy-mason.com www.astralwerks.com
Jason is former program director at three NPR/public radio stations: KXCI, Tucson, AZ; KBUT, Crested Butte, CO; KDUR, Durango, CO. A former on-air host at Pittsburgh's WYEP, Repko relocated to Austin in 2007, Tucson in 2010, and has called Seattle home since 2011.
He is not the former Red Sox or Dodger outfielder Jason Repko, but this Repko did play baseball through college himself!
