Wide Mouth Mason
Gritty Canadian blues-rock with a power-trio punch. Soulful vocals and virtuosic slide guitar for highway drives and late nights in crowded bars.

Wide Mouth Mason emerged from Saskatoon in the mid-1990s as part of a vibrant Canadian rock scene, quickly distinguishing themselves through virtuosic musicianship that leaned heavily into blues and roots traditions. Led by Shaun Verreault, a guitarist noted for his innovative 'tri-slide' technique and lap steel prowess, the band bypassed the irony of the grunge era in favor of a sincere, groove-oriented sound.
Their career arc saw them transition from prairie favorites to international touring veterans, opening for legends like The Rolling Stones and AC/DC. The 2011 lineup shift, which saw Big Sugar's Gordie Johnson join on bass, injected a heavier, more improvisational 'jam band' energy into their discography. Critically, they are regarded as one of Canada's most consistent live acts, bridging the gap between mainstream rock accessibility and the technical depth of the blues-rock elite. Their influence persists in the Canadian 'roots-rock' lineage, maintaining a dedicated cult following through decades of independent releases and high-energy performances.
