Willy Mason @ The Cluny, 19th May


Willy Mason is best known for his top 30 single 'Oxygen', which precipitated a UK tour in support of Radiohead, and the album 'Where The Humans Eat', written when he was just a teenager, but showcasing an incredible level of wisdom and piercing emotional insight. His most recent album 'If The Ocean Gets Rough' has been supplemented by scores of songs released online and self released tour E.P.s distributed at shows with the likes of Mark Lanegan and Isobell Campbell.

He has been called 'the next generation of Americana' by Uncut, and his UK shows are notorious for involving huge sing alongs, playing to people that know every word of his impassioned and uplifting take on the American songbook. Then there's his voice; timeless as an oak-tree and warm as a bonfire.

Last September he played a tiny show in newcastle Portions for Foxes organised with the help of Architecture. It was one of the best we've ever hosted and we can't wait for his return.
