Prolific singer, songwriter and producer Steve Mason celebrates his latest album with a Spring tour. Performing tracks from the 2023 release, Brothers & Sisters, Mason brings his unique blend of styles to the stage at Pop Recs on 28th April.
Hailing from Edinburgh, Mason began his career in 1996 as a member of The Beta Band, rising to fame and notoriety until they disbanded in 2004 when he set out to establish his solo career.
Known for drawing inspiration from a multitude of genres and exploring deeply personal emotions, Brothers & Sisters has been touted as Mason’s most open and honest record to date. As he explains, it was an outlet for all his rage and frustration at our political leaders.
“To me, this record is a massive ‘**** you’ to Brexit, and a giant ‘**** you’ to anyone that is terrified of immigration because there is nothing that immigration has brought to this country that isn’t to be applauded. Can you imagine what this place would be like without that? I mean what would it be like? Cornish pasties and Morris dancing?”
