Coming Friday!

Mason Lively’s new album Burn The Ground starts off like an old steam train – slowly and steadily working up to its full locomotive churn, getting better with each turn through. This Texas-born singer songwriter shows he’s poised to be a star in the making, bringing a blend of country roots with a whittled edge and some Honky Tonk flair.
Now based in Austin, Lively’s upbringing in southeast Texas provides a baseline of traditional country music, but Burn The Ground reaches beyond those boundaries – a mixed bag, capable of filling the dance floor with twirlers, earning mainstream radio play, and providing the perfect soundtrack for those lonely moments at a dimly lit bar with low hanging ceilings.
The tracks are well-rounded, showcasing a variety of sounds and formulas that embody the essence of country music. While remaining cohesive and harmonious, each song maintains its own personality and emotional outreach. From the rollicking grit found on “Still Loves Me In The Morning” to the heartfelt ballads like “Seems Like Lonesome,” Burn The Ground is an indication of Lively’s versatility and emotional depth. Currently gliding through his 20’s, this young man surely has much more to offer in the coming years.
In short, Mason Lively and his latest offering, Burn The Ground, hit all the right notes for absolute success. Whether you’re looking to dance, sing along, or simply find some company in your solitude, this album has what you’re looking for.
Catch Mason this Friday evening, 7/12 for his album release show at @antonesnightclub.
