Steve Mason will play some more UK headline dates later this year.
After releasing his latest solo album About The Light, Mason has arranged a tour for November which will see him visit cities including Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham and Southampton. It was in Leeds when Live4ever was last in Mason’s company for a show at the Belgrave Music Hall:
“It’s that sort of night; long relocated to the south coast, recent fatherhood and personal stability for Mason have clearly brought with it purpose, giving him the self-belief to reject calls to retrace his steps and instead take the harder road of writing new music which has a smile on its face.”
“As an exercise in understanding whether Mason’s determination to be his potential will change the fundamental arc of his career, tonight was never going to be a fair indication or otherwise: the crowd are his people and they’re here to show they care as much as to be entertained. One version of the greatness that he seeks involves facial recognition of a different kind, a future in a bigger spotlight which in a former life he spent a decade running from.”
