Bio

Mason Rivers, the original recipe, cooked up in 2000 by founding member, Kelly Ott. They carved out a modest little spot in the Chicago country music scene and engrained their sweet sound into the grey matter of a wide group of fans. Seven years later, during a restless period and borderline identity crisis, Mason Rivers disbanded when Kelly temporarily left the wholesome goodness of her country roots for the bright lights and excitement of the rock scene. It was a long, strange trip, but like they say, you cant take the country out of the girl.

Enter Kharma.

Back on her hillbilly horse and on a mission, Kelly rounded up the musicians on her most-wanted list at a late-night jam session some killer pickers of the kinder, gentler persuasion. The resulting harmonious event was more than just a chance encounter, it was a musical and spiritual awakening. It was the precise alignment of the planets. It was like Karma. Ahhh, Karma they said quietly, as if in sacred prayer. What a great name for a band. But as the band found their identity and their roots it was ultimately decided that Kharma, a name near and dear to their hearts, just didnt holler country.

Exit Kharma, re-enter Mason Rivers.

Were a country band, we need a country name! A little soul-searching later, the decision was clear. Kelly still owned the website. Heck, she still had the banner (albeit a bit dusty) and the drum head (yeah, that was pretty dusty too). It was a destiny that was already a part of this band and ran as deep as the friendships that brought them together in the first place. With a little elbow grease and a big vision for the future, Mason Rivers was reborn.
