As one of Canada's more interesting musical exports, Wide Mouth Mason is a trio of musicians from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan who represent the heart of a nation built of many different cultures. Comprised of Shaun Verreault (vocals, guitar), Safwan Javed (percussion, vocals), and Earl Pereira (bass, vocals), the band Wide Mouth Mason creates music that transcends the easy labels of music media and instead lays ground for a sound that is wholly the band and best heard live.
Shaun, Safwan, and Earl began playing over ten years ago in 1993 with their first performances as Wide Mouth Mason being approximately two years later. As Wide Mouth Mason, the three young men from Saskatoon began to build a fan base, the guys taking their band name from jars of the same name that they once used to drink from. From their beginnings performing in rural Alberta in 1995, the band has seen its fan base grow in Canada and extend to other areas of the world such as the United States and in Europe. With each new fan gained often quick to share the discovery of Wide Mouth Mason's music with others who have yet to hear the band's music.
While Wide Mouth Mason's four albums provide musical snapshots of a band's journey and growth, it is the opportunity of hearing the guys perform live that is something not easily described or captured, only experienced. The band has opened for such groups as AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Guess Who, and gaining more fans with each performance along the way. They've played at many different music festivals, including the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Each time the three of them perform, Wide Mouth Mason has ably demonstrated at each instance the innate ability to tailor their performance to the size of their audience and the environment created with each subtle nuance of a music fan enjoying the band's music. Wide Mouth Mason has the rare ability to not just sense the music the audience is hoping to hear but to also often surprise even the most jaded listener with their versatility and range.
As a live act, the band not only plays what one might expect, but also often plays what is the unexpected, whether it be adding funk to what would normally be a blues standard in front of a jazz-oriented balance or pulling the rawness of guitar and hard rhythms to introduce and invigorate the band's sound to a hard-rock inured listening public expecting to hear a perhaps more well-known rock band. The talent of the band in each of their performances indescribably gives each person in an audience the feeling that the band is performing just for them. Just as the band can never be adequately identified by the labels of the music industry, so too does the style and talent of the band be all and yet be none of the easy labels, depending on who is listening.

Hello (To whom it may concern),
Let me introduce myself and my members.
I am the sole creator and initiator of a Victoria, B.C. Canada house concert group. I want to pass along a request for your great music by way of an acoustic house concert (I usually have solo acoustic (40-80 * $10-$15 or a 200 or so band showing @ up to 200 * a ticket price of $15-$20). I can easily make it financially worth your while.
My mission is my dedication to supporting the live music industry and pass it on to music lovers through my creation of Victoria House Concert B. Why leave it all up to the venues and artists? Why not make it happen yourself? The musicains deserve all the funds from their fans and the fans all the music accessible from the musicians that they adore.
Through this group I have tried to find artists that we would like to see live and acoustically, and create the conditions needed to make their visit worth while for everyone.
So far my Victoria House Concert B's previous guests have been:
John Mann (The Spirit Of The West)- www.myspace.com/johnmannmusic
Winston - www.myspace.com/winston
Tom Hooper - www.myspace.com/tommyhooper
Kevin Kane - www.myspace.com/kevinkane
Suzanne Little (Lava Hay)(sp. guest) - www.myspace.com/suzannelittle
Tal Bachman (sp.l guest) -www.myspace.com/talbachmanmusic
Hemant Rao - www.myspace.com/hemantrao
Karen Foewlie - ww.karen fowlie.com
Al Harlo (Prism) - whttp://www.prism.ca/
The Grapes Of Wrath - www.myspace.com/thegrapesofwrathcanada
If ever you are in the area please consider us. We will make your stay both free and comfortable with all proceeds going your way. You can see more if you check us out at Victoria House Concert B on Facebook or see all the venue pictures at: www.myspace.com/andybriggs.
Thanks so much in advance for your time and possible consideration. You are very much appreciated in our world (you made me itune more of your music!)
Sincerely,
Andy Briggs
