Mountain Fever Records is thrilled to announce that rising star Mason Via is set to captivate listeners with his new single, "Melt in the Sun"— a genre-blending masterpiece that fuses the high-energy spirit of bluegrass with fresh, modern influences. Inspired by a transformative experience at Bonnaroo, where Via was moved by an electrifying sunset performance, the song reflects his passion for rich melodies and powerful storytelling. "Melt in the Sun" offers a glimpse into Via’s highly anticipated self-titled album, set for release on April 25.

The track boasts a powerhouse lineup of musicians, including producer Aaron Ramsey, whose mandolin solo blazes with unrelenting intensity, and Jeff Partin, who masterfully weaves bass and dobro into the song’s rich tapestry. Adding to the dynamic sound, Jason Davis delivers driving banjo, while Jim Van Cleve’s fiddle soars with precision and fire. Kyser George provides a steady second guitar, reinforcing the song’s rhythmic foundation. On harmonies, Brooks Forsyth’s baritone and Nick Goad’s tenor blend seamlessly, enhancing the track’s vibrant energy. Together, this stellar ensemble creates an electrifying interplay that drives the song’s high-energy spirit.
