Geoff Arsenault at Wilser’s Room

Geoff Arsenault – Hired Hand Fredericton Album Release Show
Original swamp of Americana, Blues & New Orleans groovalations

Join us for a special night of rootsy magic as acclaimed drummer and singer-songwriter Geoff Arsenault brings his unmistakable sound to Fredericton for the local release of his brand-new record, Hired Hand.

A true road-tested artist, Geoff has toured extensively across North America, Europe, and the UK, sharing stages and studios with an incredible roster of musicians including Ray Bonneville, Matt Andersen, Rita MacNeil, Amy Helm, Alejandro Escovedo, Mary Gauthier, Colin Linden, Michael Kaeshammer, Carlos del Junco, and many more.

Known for his deep-pocket grooves and soulful songwriting, Geoff’s music lives somewhere between swampy Americana, Tex-Mex roots, and New Orleans blues — often drawing comparisons to Tony Joe White and J.J. Cale. His previous releases, Voodoo Baby Rattle and This Ain’t No Fiction, established his signature style, while Hired Hand takes things even further, featuring contributions from Glenn Patscha, Colin Linden, Joey Landreth, Amy Helm, and more.

Expect an afternoon of gritty grooves, heartfelt stories, and richly layered songs — a celebration of community, connection, and great live music.

Come help us welcome Geoff back to Fredericton and be part of this special album release event.

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.
