The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and founder member of Traffic, now 76, played a successful run of shows across the country in the fall and embarked on the new set of dates on Atlanta on January 19. “There is nothing quite like performing live,” he says. The tour arrives at City Winery in Atlanta tomorrow (8) before the Nashville show, after which Mason visits cities including Detroit, Cincinnati, and Nashville again, before concluding at Chicago’s City Winery on February 20 and 21.
