Dave Mason will rock Sacramento stage

News release

SACRAMENTO — Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dave Mason continues his fall tour Wednesday, Oct. 16, at the Crest Theatre in Sacramento. The tour leads into the release of Mason’s tellall autobiography, “Only You Know & I Know,” due early 2023.

This continuing world tour is a testament to Mason’s six-decade enduring role as an icon in rock history as well as the unrelenting support of his music loving fans the world over. He enjoyed a successful cross country run over the summer and is thrilled to get back out on the road to see his friends and fans.

“There is nothing quite like performing live. I love it!” Mason said.

Joining Mason on this run are longtime band members Johnne Sambataro on guitar and vocals and Alvino Bennett on drums as well as exciting new additions Bill Mason on keyboard and vocals and Ray Cardwell on bass and vocals. This new lineup will perform Mason’s most loved and iconic songs as well as deep tracks and fans can always count on a few surprises.

In 2020 Dave Mason reimagined his iconic album “Alone Together” with the release of “Alone Together Again.” The album is available through Mason’s online store and on all digital platforms, via Shelter Records.

Written when he was only 20 years old, Mason is likely best known for “Feelin’ Alright?” — one of the most beloved and covered rock anthems since its release in 1968. The timeless song continues to be a powerful and enduring moment of rock-n-roll history, featured in dozens of films and TV commercials as well as interpretations by artists as diverse as Joe Cocker, Three Dog Night, Grand Funk Railroad, ELO, Coldplay, The 5th Dimension and so many more. A new version of this classic was re-recorded and released in July 2020 featuring Mason alongside Mick Fleetwood, Sammy Hagar, Michael McDonald and The Doobie Brothers: John McFee, Tom Johnston, John Cowan and Pat Simmons.
