Dave Mason’s career, which began in Worcester, England, spans half a century and encompasses producing, performing, and song writing.

Fans and critics alike hail Dave as one of the most talented songwriters and guitarists in the world - which is why he is still performing over 100 shows a year to sold-out crowds. Mason has been playing guitar most of his life. By 15, Dave had founded two bands: The Deep Feeling, and The Hellions and at 18, teamed up with Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood to form the legendary band Traffic. At 19, Mason penned the song “Feelin’ Alright”. The rock anthem, first recorded by traffic and then covered by dozens of other artists (including Joe Cocker), cemented both Dave’s and Traffic’s legacy, and had a profound influence over rock music that continues today. Mason was inducted into the Rock &Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 as the guitarist for Traffic.  His influential playing was only matched by his talents as a songwriter.

 

Dave Mason left Traffic in 1969 to pursue a solo career in the U.S. Dave has penned over 100 songs, has 3 gold albums: Alone Together, Dave Mason, Mariposa De Oro, and platinum album Let It Flow, which contained the top-ten single “We Just Disagree”.

In addition to cranking out hits, Dave has performed on, or contributed to, a number of famous albums, has collaborated with an enviable list of the who’s who in the music industry, and when not touring, he spends his time writing and producing music in his home studio. In addition, Dave tirelessly supports philanthropic efforts for Rock Our Vets, a non-profit he co-founded.
