Mason Creek features four artists of traditional, acoustic, bluegrass-music style. Based out of the Roanoke Valley, Virginia area, Mason Creek cites their many obvious local and legendary musical influences. The band is able to journey into a realm of their own, while still maintaining the spirit of sounds created within the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
The four friends, with their combined musical taste of traditional bluegrass, quickly realized that the fun and laughs never stopped. Founded in the Summer of 2015, Mason Creek was formed. Featuring veteran local performers, Gary John— lead vocal and driving rhythm guitar; Shannon Wheeler’s notoriously wicked fiddling; along with JW Meade's enforcement of solid acoustic bass playing lays a strong foundation for the driving Scruggs’ style banjo of youngest member, Brandon Dickerson.

With roots in country, Americana, and southern rock, Crawford & Power seek to put their twist toward a classic country music revival. Authentically southern, Jake Crawford's powerful vocal blended with a modern approach to the Dobro from Ethan Power, create a brand of country that has been lauded as a breath of fresh air to the genre. The Franklin County, VA based band has already opened for a variety of artists including The Marshall Tucker Band, Willie Nelson, Travis Tritt, The Charlie Daniels Band, Cody Johnson, Luke Combs, 38 Special, Gary Allan, and Jerry Douglas, among many other major acts.
With the help of their debut EP, "Play a Hank Jr. Song," the duo has quickly eclipsed over 2.5 million on-demand streams. Crawford & Power followed up their debut release with two singles in 2019, "She Liked to Get High" and "Dancing Alone" and began 2020 by releasing, "Letting You Go". The duo released "What I've Been Missin'," on August 20th, 2021, which will be the first single off of their new self-titled EP. That was followed by fan favorite "Moonshine", "Country Boys Like Me", and "I'd Like a Shot" in early 2022.
