Twin Cities singer-songwriter Mason Jennings makes frequent jaunts up I-94 to play Fargo-area gigs. On Sunday, June 14, he's leading a songwriter's workshop at the Jasper Hotel in Fargo at 3pm, followed by a meet-and-greet at 5pm and a Broadway Square concert at 7:30pm.
Great American Folk Show host and fellow Midwest musician Tom Brosseau talked with Mason about songwriting, working with Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam, and his musical influences — including, surprisingly, heavy metal.
