The act
Blues, folk and pop on a single acoustic guitar, with a looper adding rhythm underneath so there's room for lead breaks. That one guitar covers a lot of ground: quiet enough for dining, then singalongs and dancing later if that's where the night goes. Covers run from vintage material to recent hits, Beatles, Doobie Brothers, Oasis, Jack Johnson and Ed Sheeran among them, plus blues both old and new, from Stormy Monday to Lloyd Spiegel. A few originals get worked in. Dave Mason talks to the crowd as he goes. He needs one power point, and prefers a bar stool, though a chair or standing works fine.

Good to know
What to expect
One guitar, one voice, and a looper doing the work a rhythm section would normally do. That frees Dave Mason up to take lead breaks over the top of himself, which is a neat trick to watch as well as hear. The level moves with the room. Early on it sits under conversation while people eat. Later, if the night is heading that way, the same setup will carry a singalong or push people onto the floor. He reads which one you want rather than deciding for you, and he talks to the crowd between songs instead of staring at the fretboard all night.
On the day
One power point. That's the whole list. The audio gear is his, so nobody at the venue has to go looking for a PA or work out who owns which cable. A bar stool is what he'd choose if you're setting up the space anyway, though he's played plenty of nights on an ordinary chair, and plenty more standing up. So if the corner you've got in mind is short on furniture, it still works.
