John Weed (fiddle) and Stuart Mason (guitar, bouzouki, mandola, banjo) have completed their first recording as a duo, aside from their two instructional CDs. On Across the Pond from Mason & Weed, the traditions of Ireland, Scotland, France, Canada, and Louisiana meet in the American melting pot. The album was recorded last winter just up the hill from the Community Center where the show will be held.

The music on Across the Pond ranges from early American ballads and songs newly composed by their peers, to beautiful melodies with Celtic and French roots. From the Irish jigs that open the record to the joyful reels that signal the end, Mason & Weed remain true to their love of American old timey music and Irish trad while expanding the repertoire to include traditional and new music from other eras and regions.

About the Artists:

John Weed and Stuart Mason play compelling, exciting music that explores the connections between Ireland, Scotland and America, both ancient and modern. On fiddle, guitar, mandola, and banjo they bridge the Atlantic to summon a music that resonates with every audience. With the well-known Celtic powerhouse Mollys Revenge, Stuart Mason and John Weed have appeared on festival stages from Glasgow, Scotland to Shanghai, China. Both are also members of the old-time bluegrass group Little Black Train with mandolin wizard Kenny Blackwell.

An accomplished traditional-style fiddler, John Weed has lived in Ireland and immersed himself in the regional styles of Clare and Donegal. The result is an old-time Irish fiddling style that compliments his forays into bluegrass, Appalachian, swing, and Scandinavian music. A classically trained violinist, John leverages his understanding of the instrument to coax emotion from every tune. He has returned to Ireland many times to hone his skills and collect tunes at their source.

Stuart Mason was born in the hills of West Virginia, grew up in Cincinnati Ohio, and has been playing traditional music on stage for over 40
years. He is known for his authentic vocals, driving backing on guitar and mandola in alternate tunings, and inability to hold his whiskey. On banjo he plays in the older clawhammer and two-finger styles. Stuart has won awards for traditional singing (Goleta Old-Time Fiddlers Convention), mandola (Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest), and songwriting (West Coast Songwriters Association).
