Doris Mason - Piano

No Reservations
Pay What You Can

This Pictou County native is a well-known performer on the East Coast music scene and has successfully juggled a busy solo career, work as Musical Director for the hit touring show “DRUM!”, and starred in Denny Doherty’s “Dream a Little Dream”—the nearly true story of The Mamas and the Papas.

Doris grew up in a big musical family and was playing piano before her feet could touch the pedals. She wrote her first song at seven. Her training continued with the Royal Conservatory of Music, and she excelled in Kiwanis Music Festivals in New Glasgow and Halifax.

She formed a pop/jazz band and recorded a self-titled album “The Mason Chapman Band.” “Photograph” is her solo CD, which garnered Doris an ECMA nomination. She was MD and co-producer of the Dutch Mason Blues Bash CD and concert, honouring the “Prime Minister of the Blues” on his 60th birthday.

Ms. Mason has been a featured artist with Symphony Nova Scotia as part of their Pops Concert Series along with singer-songwriters Ron Hynes, Terry Kelly, Gordie Sampson, and Ian Janes. She paid tribute to Dutchy, Denny, and John Allan Cameron at the 2008 ECMAs with J.P. Cormier, Charlie A’Court, George Canyon, Gordie, and Shaye.

Doris has been fortunate to have a multi-faceted background of Celtic, folk, blues, and jazz, which has afforded her a rich and diverse career throughout Nova Scotia, Canada, Europe, and the United States.
