Happy Canada Day! While Wide Mouth Mason perform at the Sandfly Festival as part of Canada Day festivities in Medicine Hat, we thought that a great way to celebrate the day would be through an update to our Gigography from Wide Mouth Mason’s gig in Calgary just over a week ago. In addition to the setlist and performance video of “Midnight Rain”, we’ve added an extra performance video from that evening’s performance as well.

We’re in the process of changing mailing list mediums. For the Wide Mouth Mason website, there is an option to sign up for site updates as we add content. For major announcements, we have set up an mailing list for when new music is in the offing or tour dates (as opposed to one-off gigs) are being scheduled. To ensure you receive news about major Wide Mouth Mason announcements, make sure you sign up here. Our previous ReverbNation-supported mailing list will be phased out in the near future. New music is definitely coming sooner rather than later (and we hope you love the sound of the new album to come!). In the meantime, we’ll see you on the socials: Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Thanks to recent photos tagging Wide Mouth Mason on social media and submissions to the site, we are delighted to update some of Wide Mouth Mason’s 2018 gigs with gig photos! Specifically, photos from Wide Mouth Mason’s recent summer gigs in Mattawa, Ontario and Edmonton, Alberta.

Wide Mouth Mason is a soul power trio comprised of Shaun Verreault (lead vocals/guitar), Safwan Javed (vocals/drums) and Gordie Johnson (vocals/bass).
Wide Mouth Mason’s newest release is entitled NO BAD DAYS (July 12, 2011).
“We’ve called the record ‘No Bad Days’ because it perfectly describes the experience we had making it”, says singer/ guitarist Shaun Verreault. “We worked on our 3rd record, ‘STEW’ with Gordie as producer [GOV’T MULE, NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS]. When we decided to make a more organic “live off the floor” kind of record, we knew he was ‘That Guy’ and we couldn’t be more excited about the results!”
This ‘live off the floor’ approach yielded stellar results on tracks like the break beat infused, “Shut Up & Kiss Me”, and the CHRIS ROBINSON penned “Go Tell It To The Waterfall” which also features FACES keyboardist IAN MCLAGAN.
“The band’s collective influences really came together on NO BAD DAYS”, says producer/ bassist Gordie Johnson, “you can hear everything from THE ALLMAN BROTHERS to the ISLEY BROTHERS.”
Check out the making of NO BAD DAYS… IT’S A MOVIE on YouTube for an inside look at their creative process. The guys even shot their own video for the song “Get A Hold Of You“, highlighting the sense of humour and spontaneity that is part of every live show.
Wide Mouth Mason’s unique approach to jamming has earned them two invitations to the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland (which resulted in the acclaimed 2009 DVD/CD release “Live! Montreux, Switzerland”) and tours with AC/DC, ZZ Top and The Rolling Stones. They became one of the first North American rock bands to tour China in the 21st century. Previous albums have yielded such hit singles as “Midnight Rain”, “My Old Self”, “Why”, “Smile” and “Change”.
With the release of NO BAD DAYS, check out their video for “Get A Hold of You” as filmed and edited by bassist Gordie Johnson!
