Mason Jennings + Sera Cahoone

Signed for a time to Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records, singer-songwriter Mason Jennings peddles his rootsy folk-rock—sprinkled with hints of Beatlesque pop and dashes of playful humor—at Bowery behind his most recent disc, Always Been. Seattle's Sera Cahoone opens with dusky folk-pop and country-tinged ditties that are both lovely and understated.
