Former Beta Band leader Steve Mason was set to start his first North American tour in 20 years next week but we’re going to have to wait a little longer. He writes: “Friends I am sorry to say that having encountered some serious issues with my visa application. I am going to have to postpone my North American tour this winter; it’s been so long since I’ve visited your shores that my application is taking longer than expected. Apologies for the inconvenience and the short notice on this, however we have been working hard to try and make the original dates work and then to find new dates. The good news is that we will be coming as soon as we can so we have re-scheduled our shows to the spring. Please hold on to your tickets, they will all be valid, see you on the other side ASAP.” The new NYC date is April 23 at Le Poisson Rouge.
