Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute – Saint John

More than four decades after Austin guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan crossed the border for a sweltering July date in 1983 at the fabled El Mocambo in Toronto, that night remains one of the most legendary live sets in blues history — captured just five weeks after the release of his debut LP, Texas Flood.

Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at The El Mocambo is a historic set that included scorching originals mixed with covers from blues titans like Buddy Guy, Howlin’ Wolf, Lonnie Mack and John Lee Hooker. The night also extended to rock’s lineage by including three Jimi Hendrix covers, proving that Stevie Ray was part of an exciting new breed, complete with its own set of reference points. As for the performance itself, it was delivered with a fire and passion that was uniquely Stevie’s and arced from emotionally raw to fiercely powerful.

Join us for two nights as our winter blues series continues with a faithful recreation of this legendary live performance, along with a bonus set of SRV favourites: January 21, 2027 at Dolan’s Pub, and January 22, 2027 at Water Street Dinner Theatre. Connor Fox and Jonnie Price hold up their end of the bargain by leading the guitar charge, while Jamie Guitar and Andrew DeMerchant anchor the night in their respective roles as Double Trouble. This show is a ‘must-see’ for any fan of the guitar

GARRETT MASON at Water Street Dinner Theatre

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.

Doors open at 7PM. 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).
