Mason Chapman was a four-piece band formed in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1979. The original line up included Doris Mason (keyboards, vocals), Bruce Chapman (keyboards, vocals), Dave Skinner (drums, vocals), and Mike Andrusyk (bass, vocals). The band played exclusively throughout the Atlantic Provinces and presented a sound that relied heavily on keyboards and four-part vocal harmonies. Mason Chapman featured music from several genres – pop, jazz, R&B, swing, and contemporary.

The band recorded its debut self-titled album at Solar Audio Recording Studies in 1982. The album includes ten original compositions. It was engineered by Carl Falkenham and Keith Delong and produced by Glen Meisner. The album was released by M.C. Records (MC 1001). M.C. Records also released a 7 inch single (RCI 539-S1).

Guest musicians joining the band included John Hollis on sax, guitarist Georges Hebert, Roger Simard on percussion, Eugene Husaruk , Juan Fernandez, Denise Lupien, Luis Grinhauz on violins and Guy Fouquet on cello. String arrangements were done by Skip Beckwith.

After the album was released, Roger Arsenault joined the band on bass and vocals. The band continued to perform until 1984. In 2012, the band reunited for a series of concerts at Stayner's Wharf in Halifax, Montes in Dartmouth, and the Shore Club in Hubbards.
