Paul Mason

Duo / Trio / Solo · Based in Sydney

About this act

Fifteen years of guitar work, most visibly as long-time lead guitarist for Jessica Mauboy and a founding member of Battlesnake. Paul Mason has shared stages with Sting, Harry Connick Jr, Kate Miller-Heidke and James Morrison, and sold out the Factory Theatre in Sydney and Her Majesty's Theatre. His tribute show, Paul Mason Plays the Music of Jeff Beck, has done well by him. Book him solo or with the band. The book runs wide: jazz standards like Cantaloupe Island, Take the A Train and In a Sentimental Mood, Latin through Blue Bossa and Corcovado, then soul and pop, Ain't No Sunshine, I Got a Woman, Dreams, and Australian rock including Khe Sanh and April Sun in Cuba. He brings his own PA, the band brings its own gear, and he can arrange a sound engineer for larger rooms.
