One of the most critically acclaimed musicians, singer/songwriter/guitarist Dave Mason is one of classic rock’s most underrated artists. Caught up in the creative music and social vortex that was the English rock scene of the ‘60s, he co-founded the seminal jazz/jam rock group Traffic in 1967. Later, there was a successful solo career through the ’70s and early ’80s that also saw him playing with other artists both in the studio and on stage. In 2004, Dave Mason was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Traffic with bandmates Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and (posthumously) Chris Wood. It was an overdue honor. Mason recently co-founded RKS Guitars and continues to perform regularly around the country.
