TRICIA ALEXANDER and JEFF MASON first met at the Cafe Carpe almost 20 years ago. They were drawn to each other’s style of play, chord voicings, musical influences and energy. They played several gigs together (often with help from percussionist of light Alpha Stewart, Jr) and then took different musical paths.

They reunited recently at the monthly Song Circle gatherings hosted by Tricia at the Carpe…and have so much fun making music together that they decided it is time to share the stage again. Jeff says, “it is like we never took a few decades off. We have both grown and changed and playing together is more joyful than ever.”

Tricia Alexander is an accomplished singer, songwriter, guitarist, harmonicist, poet, teacher. Her music is a mix of folk, jazz, blues, poetry. She has performed in scores of cafes, concert halls, churches and schools. Her music is positive, empowering and uplifting.

Jeff Mason plays guitar and sings in several local combos, including: The Merry Horde, A Rose Among Thorns, The Expanded Waist Band, Jeff & Steve, and also performs solo. He describes himself as a blues guitarist who learned to play many different styles of music.

Their music is: living in the moment, listening, improvising, and having fun.
