The Brent Mason Band
Thursday, July 25 | 4:00PM
Brent Mason rolled back into Saint John, NB, in the spring of ‘92, after several years roaming North America in his best imitation of Jack Kerouac, riding his thumb and working carnival midways in Canada and the US. With a fistful of songs born out of an ‘On The Road’ ethos and a burning desire, Mason recorded his first ‘singer/songwriter’ album.
Mason is regularly invited to local stages including Harvest Jazz and Blues, Stanfest and many other festivals and music events in the region. Mason has been nominated for and has won several East Coast Music Awards and Music New Brunswick awards including Folk Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. He is also the youngest recipient of the Stompin’ Tom Award for his contributions to Atlantic Canadian music traditions.
After 10 albums and thousands of performances, Mason is a unique performer, combining humour, spontaneity and intriguing, compelling storytelling. Mason’s shows are entertaining and memorable; he takes audiences on a wild ride from tender sweetness and a deft touch with troubled characters, wry observations on politics, to spitting anger at the unjust forces that twist our world.
