The country singer/songwriter, 25, has been a road warrior throughout his career, having played shows across the country, so it’s inevitable that time on the road hasn’t always been easy.
During a drive to McFarland, Kansas, Mason says he and his band nearly lost their lives when the tire fell off the vehicle they had rented out while traveling at 70 mph. Luckily, the group wasn’t in the city, as the tire, which went 40 yards in the air, didn’t injure anyone.
It turns out the tire had detached from the axle, causing a sudden drop in the vehicle and loss of wheel control.
The Brakes Also Went Out
Mason went on to say that the drummer, who was driving the van, told him, “‘There’s no brakes.’ We’re like, ‘What?’ He’s like, ‘The brakes are out.’ So we just skidded 100 yards to the side of the road in McFarland, Kansas.”
“He turned around in his little truck and got us. We took 3 or 4 trips from the van, and everyone told us, they were like, ‘You know this is the hottest day of the year.’ We were like, ‘Great.’ You can’t sit in the van on the shoulder because someone might hit you. So we’re all standing in the tall grass on the side of the road at 101 degrees Fahrenheit, and everyone is getting sunburn,” Mason shared.
On Another Occasion, the Band Hit a Bear
“I remember we were listening to ‘Talkin’ Tennessee’ by Morgan Wallen, and the trees are like 15ft wide, bugs are [huge]. I remember being like, ‘Watch out for deer,’” Mason shared. “I was looking to the left expecting them to go out that way…and then from the right, you see a bear in full sprint…it just ran across the front of the van, jumped out, and we caught the back of it.”
These days, Mason can rest easy as he and his bandmates now work with a CDL-licensed driver for their trips, making their road ventures much safer.
