Funk Mason are pleased to annouce they are currently working on a new CD with Grammy award winning artist Eric Tingstad producing.  Progress has been steady, and we are looking to have all songs recorded and mixed by August or early September. 

For now, we will simply say that recording with Eric has been a pleasure. More than producing, Eric has contributed his considerable musicianship, and has co-authored a few songs with Carl for the CD.  The project has also given us the opportunity to work with Garey Shelton again. Garey is the best--whether playing bass, or providing his extensive skills in the studio.

There is an ever growing list of excellent artists making contributions to the music.  We look forward to getting it finished and making it available.  
We will keep everyone posted.

Carl Funk and Larry Mason are excited to announce the release of their CD In an Instant. The disk features ten original new tracks from Funk Mason and is available for order now.

The album is the culmination of the desire to produce an organic, acoustic piece of work that represents the core sound of the duo. No electric instruments were used. Each track consists of voices, acoustic guitars, and the occasional mandolin; very much as Funk Mason sound live. The goal was to highlight the simplicity of the songs, the thought being that a good song should be able to stand alone—without too much embellishment, or interference. 

Over half the songs on the CD were written in the last few months, and seemed to come from a similar place of spontaneity and creativity. With a few, it was as if they arrived almost “in an instant.” 

The sound is unadorned, and the production spare, but it is hoped the joy and energy of the recording process are well captured on these new tracks.
