Mason Jennings in Boulder
Mason Jennings played Boulder Theater last night, and attracted a larger and rowdier crowd than I expected, skewed more to indie hangers-on and frat boys than to aging folkies. The pit was so full, I could only take a couple videos from further back. The missing-in-action Jonny Polonsky showed up to play bass with his band. In addition to playing most of the songs from the new album, Mason played a couple new songs he had written in Patagonia in southern Chile, "Black" and "So Many Ways to Die." A rollicking evening, and opener Zach Gill played a nice piano/ukelele/accordion set, too!

Thanks once again Loring....I enjoyed that!
I've never heard Mason Jennings before, I'll give him a try.
My first encounter with Jennings. Nice smooth sound though, I really enjoyed it.
Barry and John, thanks for stopping by, Mason covered two Dylan songs on the recent "I'm Not There" soundtrack, the best being a wonderful version of "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll."
I'm in line to thank you for the introduction. He's wonderful! I loved the first one that you embedded here, don't know the name. "Black" has a Dylan feel to it. And "So Many Ways to Die" is fun. Wow, Patagonia, I guess a person would be inspired.
Ruth, the first one is called "I Love You and Buddha Too."
