Mason Jennings is a Minnesota-based pop-folk singer-songwriter in the recent tradition of such other notable artists as Jack Johnson. He is well known for his simple yet catchy melodies, intimate lyrics, intensely literary and historical themes, and deep tenor's voice. His music has appeared in the surf film Shelter and he has toured extensively. Jennings is married to Amy Jennings (nee Turany) and has a son, August, born in January 2003.

Jennings produced his self-titled debut album in 1997 on an analog four-track in the basement of a rented home, manning all instruments himself. In October 1998, after bringing drummer Chris Stock and bassist Robert Skoro on board, he began a weekly gig at Minneapolis' 400 Bar as the Mason Jennings Band. Garnering local praise and a wide fan base, Mason began touring nationally.
