A little about Derek:

Two-time JUNO Award winner Derek Miller is an Onondaga/Mohawk singer, songwriter and guitar slinger from Six Nations of the Grand River.
Blending rock & roll, blues, soul and country, Miller has built a career on powerful songs, fearless guitar playing and a voice that sounds like it has lived every word.
He’s shared stages and studios with some of music’s most respected names, but Derek Miller is unmistakably his own thing — raw, soulful and impossible to put in a box.
Now, with his new album Outta My Head, Miller is hitting the road with a killer band (The Sexy Mofos) and a show built for people who still believe rock & roll should make you feel something.
As Iggy Pop put it:
“I just discovered Derek Miller. F@ hell, that dude can wail.”
Come see what Iggy’s talking about.

A little about Garrett Mason Nation...

Garrett Mason is a true bluesman at heart. He was raised in Truro, Nova Scotia by his mother Pam, and father, veteran Canadian Bluesman Dutch Mason. His quest to become a blues musician started at a very early age; being surrounded by music blues music, Garrett’s favorite tapes at 3 years old were Canned Heat and Buddy Rich. What really sealed the deal for Garrett to become a blues guitarist came after watching a video of Stevie Ray Vaughn “Live At the El Mocambo” - he was hooked.
His dad, Dutch Mason, stopped playing guitar before Garrett was born due to crippling arthritis in his hands. Although he was not able to teach his son to play, he has certainly been able to teach Garrett the structure of the Blues and to influence him about the resulting sound. Surrounded by his father’s peers, Garrett has had the benefit of hearing and learning from a wide variety of musical talent. The late Rick Jeffery was a great inspiration to Garrett; they would talk and play for hours together. Rick once said “Garrett is the only guitar player I know that can play Albert Collins’ style down to a T”. The combination of his father’s advice, Jeffery’s guidance and his own natural talents provide that special brew for Garrett to become the musical influence he is destined to be.
Garrett Mason has been recognized with the Juno Award for Best Blues Album in 2005. His talents and original songs have been celebrated, and he continues to be a prominent figure in the Canadian blues scene.
