The first taste, a stompy, chonky blues rocker called You Pushed Me, is out now.
Go take ‘er for a spin, yeah?

We made this with Ryan Dahle at his beautiful studio on Mayne Island BC.
Our big brother Gordie Johnson rode like hell on that bass.

But wait, there’s more:
In response to your requests, September 8th we are also reissuing our self titled debut and second record Where I Started on vinyl.

To pre-order the album, check out our Bandcamp page.

We are forever grateful for your years of ears.
We couldn’t be a band without you.
We’re so excited for you to hear this.
Turn it up!

This came out in 2002 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

Q: Whaddaya get when you combine a bluesy slide guitar, a funky backbeat, a reggae bassline, vocals straight out of Sgt. Pepper, dub production and an electronica beatbox? A: One of the most striking songs I’ve heard lately — Come Out To Go, the spectacular, genre-busting centrepiece of Wide Mouth Mason’s fourth album Rained Out Parade.

That infectious four-minute slice of cultural cross-pollination may be the most eclectic track this talented trio have ever recorded. But it’s hardly out of place on this inspired and adventurous album. The 14-cut Rained Out Parade finds the Masons moving light-years beyond their Prairie blues-rock roots, augmenting their catchy melodies, soaring vocals, breakup-song lyrics and powerful performances with everything from futuristically cutting-edge production to earthy Indian tabla. Like Come Out To Go, a lot of the combinations shouldn’t work on paper — but they invariably (and usually inexplicably) do, confirming Rained Out Parade’s status as the most creative and distinctive disc of Wide Mouth Mason’s career. These boys deserve a parade.

With Wide Mouth Mason in the midst of preparing new music, we’ve taken the time to update our Gigography section with past and future tour dates from 2021 and 2022. For the years prior to 2021, please contact us to provide us with your concert memories that are not yet listed!

As for upcoming gigs, there are two in September 2022 to look forward to!

2022.09.04: Saanich Fair (Saanichton, British Columbia)
2022.09.10: Southside Shuffle @ Memorial Park Festival Grounds (Port Credit, Ontario)

Wide Mouth Mason’s set begins at 8pm at the Southside Shuffle, part of the 24th Annual Port Credit Blues and Jazz Festival located at the Memorial Park Festival Grounds in Port Credit (32 Stavebank Road, Port Credit, ON).
