Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and co-founder of the legendary band Traffic, Dave Mason has been a force in rock music for over six decades. Mason founded Traffic with Steve Winwood in April of 1967 while both were still teenagers. While still a teen Mason penned the Traffic hit “Feelin’ Alright”. The song became a global rock anthem and has been recorded by dozens of artists. After extensive touring with Traffic, Mason headed for the USA to pursue a solo career. He struck international gold with his debut album ‘Alone Together.' Five highly successful albums for the CBS/Sony label followed, four of which received gold album certification. Mason’s unique guitar work can be heard on landmark albums and songs such as the Rolling Stones’ 'Beggar’s Banquet', George Harrison’s 'All Things Must Pass', Paul McCartney’s 'Listen To What The Man Said' and Jimi Hendrix’s 'Electric Ladyland'. Hendrix’s ‘All Along The Watchtower’ features Dave playing the 12 string guitar.
