Mountain Fever Records Releases Mason Via’s New Single, Falling.
Mason Via’s new single, Falling is sure to be a quick favourite across folk, bluegrass, and Americana aficionados . In his most genre-expansive work yet, Via combines classic harmonies with a picturesque scene reminiscent of time spent letting go with friends. Sure to excite younger bluegrass fans, this tune will remind them of folk classics from Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers, and more popular acts, while highlighting bluegrass favorites like harmony vocals, and banjo features. Via has successfully crafted a piece that will once again be a favorite among favorites.
I co-wrote this song with Charlie Chamberlain, who is known for co-writing on several Songs From The Road Band albums. We wrote this tune as a companion piece to “Melt in the Sun” (another song on the upcoming record). This song was originally meant to be solely recorded with my psychedelic electric side project as a rock and roll party anthem. We were not planning to record it on this bluegrass album, but bassist and dobro player Jeff Partin told us it was his favorite tune from the enormous list of songs I played for him and the producer, and that made me want to add it at the last minute. I’m glad we did because it really has that Mountain Heart newgrass drive to it, but juxtaposed with booty-shaking club dancing lyrics – Mason Via.
The track features Mason Via on lead vocals and guitar; Aaron Ramsey on mandolin; Jason Davis on banjo; Jim Van Cleve on fiddle; Jeff Partin on bass and resophonic guitar; Kyser George on second guitar; Brooks Forsyth on harmony; and Nick Goad on tenor harmony.
Falling is available to pre-save here.
