Dave Mason and Jefferson Starship

Jefferson Starship, formed by Paul Kantner and Grace Slick post-Jefferson Airplane, became a '70s-'80s rock powerhouse with hits like "Miracles." Their album Red Octopus topped charts, with Marty Balin's return boosting success. Despite lineup changes, they thrived with a mainstream rock style. After Kantner's 2016 death, David Freiberg continued the legacy, releasing the 2020 EP Mother of the Sun.

Dave Mason, born in Worcester, England, is a renowned British guitarist and singer/songwriter. He co-founded the '60s rock band Traffic and penned "Feelin' Alright." His successful solo debut, "Alone Together," featured guest artists and showcased his soulful style. Mason's 1977 hit "We Just Disagree" reached number 12 in the U.S. He collaborated with Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominos, George Harrison, and Cass Elliot. His albums, including "Let It Flow," earned gold and platinum status. Mason later joined Fleetwood Mac and continued to tour extensively.
