Tony Mason Email & Phone Number

Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, I was exposed to the drums at an early age and started formal lessons while in junior high. After graduating high school, I hit my groove with a couple of years playing in local bands and haven't looked back since.In 1996 I moved to Michigan to play with an established touring cover/original band. In 1998, joined PULL. The band played covers for a living, but quickly moved to originals and released a self-titled EP which sold out at shows and made the band one of the most in demand live groups in the Midwest.Toured with SPLENDID CHAOS starting in 2000, performing modern and alternative rock in every major U.S. market from Anchorage, Alaska to Key West, Florida. MTV used tracks from the band as background music on original programs, and in 2004, the group was featured on the Fox Sports' and OLN's 'Fusion TV.' and the band also played radio festivals and on the Jagermeister Music Tour. The group's song 'Energy' was also featured on the 2007 Jagermeister compilation CD. Played more than 200 shows a year with the group to thousands of fans ' a relentless schedule that I've kept up ever since.Currently I play for country music artist ERIC LEE BEDDINGFIELD. Named the 2007 Breakout Artist by Music Row and New Country Weekly's Top 10 New Artists of 2008, Beddingfield has enjoyed chart topping and touring success, hitting number 38 with 'Kill the Mullet,' number 25 with 'Nowhere, USA' and number 22 with 'Small Town America.''Playing with Eric's been something new and different for me,' 'He wanted to have more of a rock influence in his country, and I was looking to branch out. It's worked for both of us ' now I'm doing studio work in Nashville and still playing lots of live shows with Eric promoting the new album.'On the nights when I'm not playing with Beddingfield, I stay busy with several cover groups. I'm a drummer. It's what I do. I love the fans, I love talking with them and I wouldn't change a thing.Specialties: Drummer...major or indie...band leader, team player, and all around enjoying life to its fullest.
