Tony teams up with Pearl Drums!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 03:35:00 +0000

Hello ladies and gents!
I have a bit of exciting news to report. As of this last week things were finalized so I have an announcement to make.
As many of you know I have been playing Pearl drums for many years. Well, as of last week it is official! I am now officially an endorser of Pearl Drums and Hardware and I couldn't be more excited! Pearl is a company that has stood the test of time and they have a superior product. My only regret is not switching to them years ago.
It is a great honor and makes me proud to be affiliated and represent such a great company with great products that I feel I can stand behind. You can't go wrong with Pearl!
I would like to send a shout out to Kevin and the rest of the staff for welcoming me into the Pearl family and making such awesome products! Thank You!

God Bless
Tony

Canadian Tour! Beautiful!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:50:00 +0000

Hello again ladies and gents,
Well, we are full on a week into the Canadian tour with Eric Lee Beddingfield. Eric did an amazing job performing our National Anthem before the race at Pocono on the 4th and we have been hitting it hard in Canada. Right now we are in Toronto with a few days off and I must say this is an AMAZING city. If you haven't been following along on my facebook page be sure to go there and check out some of the pictures. I have 2 new albums there titled Gobowling.com 400 at Pocono and another titled simply Canada 2013
Our hotel in Toronto opens up into the Rogers Center (formally the Skydome) so I have been lucky enough to catch my first pro baseball game. As luck would have it, I was able to see 2 different Nashville natives pitch for two of the teams. Torontos pitcher and last years Cy Young award winner R.A. Dickey and the Oaklands A's rookie Sonny Gray. That has been a very cool highlight of the trip.
Anyway, time to get going, we fire the machine back up tomorrow for a 3 day run of shows. Be sure to follow the posts, like the pages and hit me up on twitter or facebook and we'll see ya soon!
Take Care,
Tony

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 02:53:00 +0000

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! It's been a while since my last post so I just wanted to drop a quick line to say whats up. 2012 was a great year so I can only imagine what 2013 has in store.
I would like to start the new year off by thanking everyone of you that has supported and continue to support me along this awesome journey that is the music business. Sometimes its a rough road that will eat you alive but you have to get up, dust off and keep going. It is you guys, the fans and friends that drives and pushes me to do just that!
I would like to also thank the sponsors and product companies of the gear I use to make it all happen, Silverfox Drumsticks, Remo Drumheads, Sabian Cymbals, Pearl Drums, DW Hardware and last but def. not least Woodshed Custom Bass Heads. I've been lucky enough to have a working relationship with these companies, they have been great to me and have been a huge help in my career by keeping things going smoothly. I can only hope it will be a partnership that lasts for a long time to come.
A lot of things are going to be happening this year so keep an eye on this website as well as my Facebook and Twitter for upcoming news... Thanks for everything and Happy New Year!

Peace,
Tony

We have compiled a list of the stations that are already playing the single along with their websites. If you guys hear it and like it, call in and keep requesting it.

You can also hear it on Nashville XM 11 and Sirius XM 16 so be sure to call and request it there as well. Below is a list of the stations and towns already spreading the Gospel! As always, thanks for your support!

Moving to Nashville

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 18:40:00 +0000

The time has come for me to make the move to Nashville. For the last two years, I've been playing with an amazing artist/songwriter by the name of Eric Lee Beddingfield. In those two years I have made many contacts, new friends and met some amazing musicians. With that being said, I have made the decision to make the move to a town I have grown to love and respect. Nashville has had some rough times in the past month or so due to the flooding and they didn't receive the media of government attention that it should have but thats ok. It is one of the most amazing cities and the way the people there came together to rise above and help each other just shows one more reason that I love that place. We Are Nashville and that can't be taken away. If you ever want to take a road trip to a city that will surprise and amaze you, go to Nashville! You will not be let down.
Take care and best wishes,

Tony

Nashville Floods

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 08 May 2010 08:28:00 +0000

The recent flooding in Nashville and other middle Tennessee cities has been devastating. Due to friends I have made in that beautiful city, I have seen many first hand pictures and videos of the devastation, yet I have not heard hardly anything from the media about it. I read this great article the other day (We Are Nashville) which helped spark a movement in the Nashville community.

Since then, I have seen all of the posts of Tennesseans helping each other in ways that could teach us all a few lessons. This is America, If we would all help each other in the way these people have the world be a much better place not just as Americans but as Human Beings.

With that being said, Nashville and the surrounding areas still need your help. Any help is appreciated. Most of these people need simple items such as tooth brushes, tooth paste etc. They are on water conservation due to the floods contaminating the water so Baby wipes is another great item. At the bottom of this note I will post a few links to some photos and video of the devastation. I will also post links to a few sites where you can make donations as well as find out other ways you can help.

Last but not least, here is a recent post from a friend in the Nashville area. Simply Amazing people.
"
~So, without national news coverage, without days of hype, the people of this beautiful city are rolling up our sleeves, joining hands, and digging deep. The Channel 4 News put on an impromptu telethon last night. LOCALY ONLY mind you, and the people here donated $1.7! I have never been more proud of a community. We're not waiting for you Washington. You take your time. We have lives to rebuild. WE ARE NASHVILLE!"

Whats up everybody!

I want to see how fast I can get to 1,000 Fans on Facebook- and I need your help. (we're already up almost 400!)

First step - click on over to Tony Mason on Facebook and become a FAN yourself..

Then - I'm sure you've already done it, but please "suggest to friends" to become a fan of Tony on there.The best way I've found is to use your friend lists with the "filter friends" tab on the left side of the pop up box - once you do that you can choose "select all" from each list.

Its a bit of a pain in the butt, but it’ll be worth it, I promise!

So help me, help you and just do it! and encourage all your friends to do the same! :)

Suggest me to all your fb friends and let's impress ourselves!
