GARRETT MASON at Dolan’s Pub

It’s true, Garrett Mason does indeed carry the soulful blues lineage rightfully attached to his family name. His father, Dutch Mason may have baptized him in the blues, however make no mistake about it, Garrett’s take on the genre is completely his own. His approach to blues guitar is where he separates himself from EVERYBODY else. He’s inventive, distinct and very exciting. He has legitimately earned his place among the greats, and forged his own legendary east coast status.

MRTI is thrilled to announce that Garrett will once again be part of our Blues Series. He takes to the Dolan’s Pub stage on March 26th, and the following night in Saint John at the Water Street Dinner Theatre. This is a show NOT to be missed.

*Show starts at 7:30pm. General seating.

JP LEBLANC at Water Street Dinner Theatre

Coming in strong from Bathurst NB, we are proud to announce that JP Leblanc has come on board to be part of MRTI’s Winter Blues Series. JP and his band play Dolan’s Pub February 19th, then its on to Saint John’s Water Street Dinner Theatre on the 20th.

JP is coming off of an exciting 2025. Last year he released his 7th full length release, All In My Blood, which was produced by Grammy winning producer, Colin Linden. Maneuvering between Nashville, Louisiana, Toronto, JP is back, and armed with his most realized set of songs to date.

‘When I first heard JP’s demos, I thought there was an honesty I was drawn to,’ says Linden. ‘I also heard a very unique take on his influences and culture that was very compelling.’

It is also worth mentioning that JP also represented Atlantic Canada in the 2024 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, which put him on stages alongside some of the top talents of the genre.

Being a blues artist with strong ties to his Acadian heritage gives JP a unique voice and his ability to ‘find the sweet notes’ as Linden so eloquently puts it, will make for a night of truly electrifying, rock solid blues.

*Doors at 7PM. Show starts at 7:30PM. General seating (no reservations).

Dave Gunning – Field Notes Release

Dave Gunning is an east coast treasure. An award winning songwriter who graces his storytelling with vivid characters washed in humour and humility. With a charm that swings high from the rafters of your heart, this Pictou born talent has been winning over Fredericton audiences for years. This winter he returns to the Charlotte Street Arts Centre, Feb 27, to introduce fans to his latest release, Field Notes.

Recorded in Australia, Field Notes is Gunning at his barest and most stripped down. Placed in non sterile surroundings, and delivered unfettered and honestly, Dave gives these songs a special level of intimacy. Armed with little more than a mic, guitar, and this fresh batch of great material…the effect will be undeniable–the show, unforgettable.
