Brent Mason

Brent Mason, born 1959 in Van Wert, Ohio, came to Nashville in the summer of 1983 and played there in a club. Chet Atkins saw him, called the next day and invited him to play on his next album, which won a Grammy and got his career started. He went on to win a Grammy himself in 2008. His Dad was a finger-picking guitar player and Brent developed his unique style with a thumb pick early, which he doesn't just use for country music, but also playing rock, R'n'B and jazz. In the latter discipline he displays great harmonic knowledge and creative lines.
