Cynthia G. Mason’s haunting voice, razor-sharp insight, and delicate guitar-work create a mood not unlike that of Philadelphia itself— a mix of melancholy and hope. Her unique songwriting and captivating live performances have earned her both local and national praise. Performing Songwriter Magazine called her self-titled CD “startlingly intimate, confessional, indicting, personal and fierce.” Time Out New York wrote that "her graceful, understated songs frequently awed clubs full of noisy chatterers into silence." The Philadelphia City Paper once  nominated Cynthia as the Best Female Vocalist in the city.  Her album Quitter's Claim, recorded with the help of friend and musical partner Larry D. Brown (a.k.a. Grey Reverend),  is out now on the High Two label.
