“-based singer-songwriter Mason Jennings is who would’ve become if Johnson had grown up a brainy Midwestern lefty instead of spending his college years as a Santa Barbara surf bum.... In an age of mediocrity, the appearance of a flat-out superior talent is startling” - LA Weekly

“Mason Jennings captivated a sold out crowd at the Aladdin Theater on February 8th, 2006. Armed with only his voice, guitar, and piano, he gave the crowd a sample of what makes him such a sought-after entertainer. For Jennings, playing without the rest of his band didn’t seem to faze him one bit. On stage, he performed as if they were right behind him, and he managed to create the same level of energy that comes from playing with a full band. Described as folk-rock, Mason Jennings sings of everyday observations and emotions without the fanfare found in the majority of today’s musicians. His voice is his platform, and his guitar is his rhythm section. He uses these two basic components to fill in the drum solos and the ripping bass lines. His ability to incorporate different sounds into his songs with merely an acoustic guitar is what makes Mason Jennings such a high-energy performer. He refuses to let the fact that it is only him on stage limit the output of his material and ends up delivering an absolutely kick-ass show. You aren’t human if you can’t relate to what Jennings has to say. He has tapped into the subconscious of everyman because he is Everyman. He isn’t afraid to flaunt his sincerity whether it means being extremely blunt or brutal. His insights are deeply personal, relatable, violent, and emotional. The heart of Mason’s music is in his attempt to decipher life at its core and in the raw emotions that lead people to feel and act impulsively. One can’t help but want to sing along with him, because even if the words are foreign, what he’s saying isn’t.” - JamBase Rebecca Pidgeon: More great press for Scott Miller More Than Just “It’s hard not to be “with” whatever comes caterwauling out of Scott Miller’s mouth. His songwriting drives like a Cadillac, equally adept at navigating blue A Pretty Voice highways and Civil War battlefields, with a knack for winding up in the parking lot of the nearest saloon. There’s always some chewed-up mixed tape playing on its stereo; there’re coffee stains on its seats, and the seatbelts sure as hell don’t work. His newest album, Citation, follows in grand tradition.

Produced in Memphis by the legendary Jim Dickinson, Citation rolls out in a somewhat more mature fashion than its predecessors. There’s always been a strong sense of the past tense in Miller’s songwriting, but with this go-round he’s bypassed the rearview window perspective and taken time to actually turn around and gawk. During the writing process, he even rented an apartment in the history-rich Fort expressly for the purposed of marveling at the distance between then and now— which naturally unraveled into a string of past- present comparisons. The moral-fueled battles of yesteryear vs. today’s high-tech cowboy warfare. Steamed-up car windows vs. mortgage payments. Whatever nostalgia Miller may have been looking * Album track ‘Army Brat’ is the end-title for, it clearly found him first. them to the CBS series The Unit As ever, backing band The Commonwealth nails * Recently finished filming EDMOND “polished-chaos” like a champ; it barrels through with William H. Macy and Joe Mantegna rowdier fare like “8 Miles a Gallon” like there’s beer on the other side, then * Recently finished filming PROVOKED straightens up its act just in time for ballads like “Long Goodnight.” Of course, the whole outfit sounds better live, and buying this album is no excuse not to with Miranda Richardson attend its Blue Cats show on March 24. But the ugly reality is that that’s the ugly * Great press in LA Times, E! and more reality of , so suck it up. You’ll be glad you did.” - Metropulse Knoxville For up-to-the-minute AAA news...
