Now that Summer 2011 has officially ended, it’s only fitting we close out the Last.fm Discover Summer Sessions today. We’ve got MONA in session, a very special acoustic performance by vocalist Nick Brown and guitarist Jordan Young. Bassist Zach Lindsey joined in for the interview while drummer Vince Gard, well, he was swimming back at the hotel. Although they are based in Nashville, TN, I first became aware of the band over a year ago thanks to the press and the airplay they were getting in the U.K.

Named after Nick’s grandmother, MONA got the ball rolling with two singles in England, prior to the release of the debut album. (Nick and Jordan play both of them in this session). Originally called Pre-Fame Breakdown, the self-titled, self-produced album was released in the U.S. in May.
