We’re thrilled to welcome back Mason Gaul, a returning Derby performer and true crowd favorite.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest in the small town of Vader, Washington, Mason brings a unique musical style shaped by both the country roots he grew up on and the grunge rock influences that defined the Northwest music scene of the 1990s. The result is a sound that feels both familiar and fresh — perfect for a lakeside afternoon in Mineral.

Mason is an accomplished singer-songwriter and guitarist whose original music reflects his deep connection to the outdoors, community, and the stories of the region. His debut album Mudflow (2023) was inspired by the lives lost during the eruption of Mt. St. Helens — an event that shaped the communities of Southwest Washington and continues to resonate today.

When he’s not performing at local events and venues across the Pacific Northwest, Mason enjoys hiking, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his wife and his dog Remington.

Be sure to take a break from fishing, grab some food, and relax by the stage while enjoying live music from one of our favorite returning performers.
