Willy Mason
With a sound highly reminiscent of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash mixed with political cynicism that seemed ripped straight from a Billy Bragg record, nobody could believe that Willy Mason was only 19 when he first exploded on the indie scene in 2005.
The son of two folk singers, Mason took the soft and loose delivery of American folk and added it to the revolutionary message of his teen heroes - Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine. Spewing out songs at alarming rates, the singer was soon appearing on local radio shows, and by the age of 17 was hanging out and touring America with Conner Oberst.
High-profile tours with Rosanne Cash, My Morning Jackson, Evan Dando, and Beth Orton followed, and with his new first two albums meeting with remarkable critical acclaim, Mason has cemented his repuatation as one of country's most outstanding rising stars.
