McAlmont & Mason’s Bowie Unplugged

Adventure into the Bowie-verse with David McAlmont (vocals), Janette Mason (piano) and Simon Little (bass).

Just over a decade ago, David McAlmont (best known for his hit Yes with Bernard Butler) got a transformative call from Janette Mason who invited him to fill some hefty shoes: Lea DeLaria, Mason’s estimable, long-time collaborator got the “once in a lifetime” call from Hollywood, meaning that Wall to Wall Bowie, the veteran arranger’s labour of Bowie love, needed a new vocalist with as deep an affection for the material.

McAlmont, a late, but enthusiastic Bowie developer, seized the opportunity at a deeper exploration of the revered, musical constellation. The decision forged a continuing adventure into the Bowie-verse.

For the first time in their acclaimed stint since 2013, they perform hitherto uncharted interpretations, with new intimate arrangements for an intimate setting.

McAlmont & Mason’s Bowie Unplugged, an eleventh anniversary celebration, lays bare the poetic, chordal mission of the inalienable genius.
