Mason, who was a founding member of New Zealand bands The Fourmyula and The Warratahs, joins forces with former Warratahs bass player Clinton Brown, on their Two For The Road tour.
The pair will perform at the Whistling Frog Cafe, south of Papatowai, on Wednesday, November 19 from 8pm.
The chance to perform in the Catlins was too good to pass up, Mason said.
"This tour is such a great opportunity to perform in some wonderful venues and special locations. We're very much looking forward to visiting the Whistling Frog Cafe and meeting some of the locals."
Both Mason and Brown have been in bands together for 35 years, first meeting up when they joined Rockinghorse in 1973.
Brown, regarded as one of the country's finest bass players, he has performed with the likes of Dave Dobbyn, Greg Johnson and Mark Williams.
The pair have been in bands supporting big names like Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, Dr Hook, Boz Scaggs and America.
While they have appeared on big stages, Mason said playing in more intimate venues was an ideal opportunity for a songwriter to engage with the audience.
"You can't help but get up close and personal in these types of settings, which is what we really enjoy. We can also share a few stories we've gathered over miles and miles of touring both here and overseas."
