Alt-folk-bluegrass'ers Mason Porter will be settling into a residency at Philadelphia's Blinkin' Lincoln for the month of May. Since the release of their debut EP in 2008 the band has quickly built buzz playing clubs and festivals around the region. Each Thursday Mason Porter will be joined by great supporting acts, including Wissahickon Chicken Shack, Hezekiah Jones, and Tom Hamilton. Special guests will be featured each week as well. Located in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia, the Blinkin' Lincoln is one of the hottest spots for local music in the area and has become one of Mason Porter's favorite spots to play. 10:00 pm on May 7, 14, 21 and 28.
