Garrett Mason

Garrett Mason returns to Trailside Music Hall on October 16 at 8 pm.

Raised in Truro, Nova Scotia, by his mother, Pam, and his father, veteran Canadian bluesman Dutch Mason, Garrett’s journey into blues music began at a very young age. Surrounded by blues music, Garrett’s favourite tapes at three years old were by Canned Heat and Buddy Rich.

Although Dutch Mason stopped playing guitar before Garrett was born and wasn’t able to teach him directly, he did impart the structure of the blues and influenced Garrett’s sound. Surrounded by his father’s peers, Garrett has benefited from hearing and learning from a wide variety of musical talent.
