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:Natalie Alcorn\, Richard White & Jennifer King
DESCRIPTION:Horn player and vocalist Natalie Alcorn joins jazz guitarist Richard White and pianist and series host Jennifer King for a program that brings classical repertoire into conversation with jazz standards and contemporary works. \nRobert Schumann’s “Adagio and Allegro\,” Op. 70 shows off the horn’s full range\, moving from spacious\, lyric writing into quicksilver passagework that is a conversation with the piano. Franz Strauss’s “Notturno\,” Op. 7 leans into a more intimate mood\, with long melodic arcs and a warm\, late-Romantic glow. Hoagy Carmichael’s “The Nearness of You” offers the kind of close\, unhurried phrasing that suits the mellow combination of voice and electric guitar. Bobby Troup’s “Route 66” brings a light\, forward-moving swing\, and Billie Eilish’s “My Future\,” heard here in a jazz arrangement\, shifts the song into a new frame. Fred Rogers’ “It’s You I Like” adds a moment of simple sincerity\, with the kind of direct message that lands differently when it’s sung in a room with other people. Presented in a sensory-friendly environment\, this concert offers a relaxed\, welcoming space to listen\, settle in\, and experience live music at your own pace. \nNatalie Alcorn is known for her versatility as both a horn player and vocalist\, with classical training from McGill University​\, she also holds a Masters of Music from the New England Conservatory​. She is a member of the Stadacona Band​\, has performed across Canada and internationally\, ​and can often be found playing in the horn section of Symphony Nova Scotia​. She has also​ performed with the Boston​ Philharmonic​\, Ottawa Symphony\, Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra\, Montreal’s Altsys Jazz Orchestra and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.​ Richard White is a Canadian guitarist who works across jazz standards\, pop\, and original music\, with a background in theatre and vocal performance. Jennifer King is a CBC-featured pianist whose recording “O Mistress Moon: Canadian Edition” won Classical Album of the Year at the 2023 East Coast Music Awards\, and whose latest album “Souvenance” is nominated for two 2026 East Coast Music Awards. \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.
