Mason Jennings and Nathaniel Rateliff at Bluebird Theater
Mason Jennings' status as an independent musician has always been part of his appeal: What the folk-rock troubadour lost in the publicity and radio play that comes with being on a major, he gained in an unfettered ability to make earnest, emotionally rich albums the way he saw fit. So it was a little surprising four years ago when Jennings signed with Epic via Glacial Pace, the imprint of Modest Mouse leader Isaac Brock. When 2006's Boneclouds failed to set the world ablaze with Jennings' sensitive folk, he was dropped from the label. Fortunately, kindred spirit Jack Johnson picked up last year's In The Ever for his label Brushfire, a more fitting home for Jennings' warm and thoughtful tunes.
