Mason Honnoll is a singer/songwriter hailing from Columbus, MS. Mason writes and sings music for “simple folks”--storytelling songs with catchy, singable melodies and accessible lyrics. Having tasted the music business while growing up traveling with his dad’s southern gospel band on the weekends, it’s no surprise that he ended up as a musician himself.

With influences from a wide range of old and new country, southern rock, and gospel artists. As a writer, he seems less influenced by the bro-country of the last decade and more inspired by the writers of yesteryear. His idols are Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Marty Robbins, and it shows. There’s even a quality to his voice that seems to belong in a bygone era--his smooth tone mimics mid-century country balladeer Jim Reeves at some points, and at others a 20th-century country tone that could have put him in the running to be the fifth member of the Highwaymen.

The ultimate dream for Mason? To sing from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and have his songs broadcast over WSM. It seems that he is well on his way. Just like country greats before him, he writes and sings with a rugged honesty that comes across as absolutely genuine.

At the 2023 Josie Music Awards at the famous Grand Ole Opry, Mason was nominated for Rising Star of the Year and Best Country Album of the Year for his debut album “Mississippi Mason” Just The Way I Am.
