SUMMARY:Adrianna Ciccone & Ellen Gibling
DESCRIPTION:Fiddler Adrianna Ciccone and harpist Ellen Gibling perform a program shaped by Irish and Appalachian traditions\, blending original music with time-honoured favourites. In a sensory-friendly setting\, the performance moves between slower\, calming pieces and more upbeat sets with steady\, repeating patterns and clear musical lines. Highlights include “The Limerick Lamentation\,” “North Country Waltz” and “The Geese in the Bog / Mrs. O’Sullivan’s / Liz Carroll’s\,” alongside original pairings like “The Back of Winter / The Cavers of Kirkcudbright” and “The Golden Goose / Mon Poisson.” Ciccone was raised in the Ottawa Valley fiddle tradition and is greatly inspired by Québécois fiddling. She graduated from Berklee College of Music\, and her debut album won Instrumental Artist of the Year at the 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards. Gibling is a harpist whose music spans classical\, Irish traditional\, and improvised genres. Her 2022 solo album “The Bend in the Light” has been called bold\, beautiful\, and enchanting\, and her 2024 duo album with Ciccone\, “The Pear Tree\,” has earned praise for its genuine\, heartfelt sound. This free concert welcomes everyone. You are invited to settle in\, take in the sound at your own pace\, and enjoy live music in a comfortable\, supportive environment. \n\n\nThe Sensory-Accessible Concerts series is made possible through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts\, the J&W Murphy Foundation\, the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia\, the Harrison McCain Foundation\, the Craig Foundation\, the Unity for Autism Foundation\, the Cecilia Concerts Season Sponsor Nice Moves / Red Door Realty\, and our presenting partner the Halifax Public Libraries. We appreciate the gifts from the many individual donors who continue to support this important initiative.

SUMMARY:Garrett Mason
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHis 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. \nGarrett would be the first to tell you that riding the coat tails of others won’t take you very far in this business\, but striving to be truly original is the secret to longevity and lasting success. Garrett launched his debut CD I’m Just a Man at the 2004 Harvest Jazz and Blues festival in Fredericton\, New Brunswick to a sold out crowd. \nThis debut CD features Garrett’s talent for strong original songs\, a voice that is reminiscent of a veteran performer and his extraordinary aptitude for playing electric guitar. Garrett’s original talent was awarded in 2005 when he received a Juno for Best Blues Album. Garrett Mason is poised to be one of the brightest stars to emerge from the East Coast Blues scene in years. \nGarrett’s band released their sophomore album Love and Sound in July 2008 which was nominated for a Juno Award. The album won Blues Artist/Group Recording of the Year at the 2009 Music Nova Scotia and Industry Awards.

SUMMARY:Garrett Mason
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHis 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. \nGarrett would be the first to tell you that riding the coat tails of others won’t take you very far in this business\, but striving to be truly original is the secret to longevity and lasting success. Garrett launched his debut CD I’m Just a Man at the 2004 Harvest Jazz and Blues festival in Fredericton\, New Brunswick to a sold out crowd. \nThis debut CD features Garrett’s talent for strong original songs\, a voice that is reminiscent of a veteran performer and his extraordinary aptitude for playing electric guitar. Garrett’s original talent was awarded in 2005 when he received a Juno for Best Blues Album. Garrett Mason is poised to be one of the brightest stars to emerge from the East Coast Blues scene in years. \nGarrett’s band released their sophomore album Love and Sound in July 2008 which was nominated for a Juno Award. The album won Blues Artist/Group Recording of the Year at the 2009 Music Nova Scotia and Industry Awards.
