What would you call musicians who have mastered the art of hyphenating the genres of music time and time again?
What can you say about musicians who’ve been together almost ten years, playing the music they love to play in front of hundreds of thousands over the span of their professional careers?
What would you call the sound of three individuals playing together that as a whole is much greater than one would expect from each of its parts?
The answer is best summed up in three words. Wide. Mouth. Mason.
As one of Canada’s many interesting musical exports, Wide Mouth Mason is a trio of musicians from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan who represent the heart of a nation built of many different cultures. Comprised of Shaun Verreault (vocals, guitar), Safwan Javed (percussion, vocals), and Earl Pereira (bass, vocals), the band Wide Mouth Mason creates music that transcends the easy labels of music media and instead lays ground for a sound that is wholly the band and best heard live.
Shaun, Safwan, and Earl began playing almost ten years ago in 1993 with their first performances as Wide Mouth Mason being approximately two years later. As Wide Mouth Mason, the three young men from Saskatoon began to build a fan base, the guys taking their band name from jars of the same name that they once used to drink from.

wide mouth mason is my favorite band simply because of their bluesy rock sound, its amazing what they can produce as a three piece band and especially live. shaun verrault might be the best vocalist/guitarist i have ever seen let alone heard. if they went back to their early sounds they might still be big in canada doing bigger shows like they used to, still nothing but love for the band.

It's such a shame that these guys' material went downhill from the first two albums. The self-titled and Where I Started are nearly perfect from start to finish, but I just cannot say the same about their later discs. Stew had some cool tracks, and Rained Out Parade had a couple redeeming qualities. I picked up Shot Down Satellites hoping to maybe have them revert to their old style. Oh how wrong I was..... The music was constantly angry, and didn't contain any bluesy elements whatsoever.

Why do I never get around to seeing these guys play. I still really like their first 3 albums, and I'm sure their new stuff is better live... must see 'em next time around... just thinking out-loud here.
