Mason, by now a singer and guitarist, was introduced to the blues via recordings of B.B. King, who would remain an important influence.
Mason performed in Toronto as early as 1959, but has based his career in Nova Scotia, leading a succession of blues bands in a variety of bars - eg, during the 1970s at Sullivan's in Halifax, and the Wyse Owl in Dartmouth.
As his reputation - unique in Canada - as a colourful performer in a tough, fundamental, urban blues style grew in the late 1970s and the 1980s, he began working on the club circuit across the country, appearing frequently at the Rising Sun in Montreal and Albert's Hall in Toronto.
