Dave Mason has announced that he will embark on the second leg of his “Endangered Species Tour” this Summer.
The 22-date tour will begin in Davenport, Iowa, on May 17, and conclude in Boston on June 28.
The final two shows, on June 24 and June 28, will feature the Steve Miller Band.
A new line up, consisting of Johnne Sambataro on guitar and vocals, Marty Fera on drums, Tony Patler on keyboard and vocals, and Ray Cardwell on bass and vocals, will play Mason’s favorites as well as some surprises.
The rock icon, who turns 77 on May 10, will release his memoir titled “Only You Know and I Know” later this year.
“At 76 years old (77 soon!), I’m still loving performing live concerts. I feel grateful for that, and to tell you the truth it surprises the hell out of me. I’ve been doing it for over 60 years and the love is still there,’ Mason wrote on Instagram.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer said he is still a strong believer in the magic of music.
“It’s subjective of course. I’m a ‘rare bird,’ so to speak, sticking to the tour life and to music, and you’re invited to join me another tour in 2023! No fireworks, no flashing lights, no go-go dancers, no special effects. Just great songs and a promise of a heart filled performance,” he added.
