Lunenburg School of the Arts presents
JUNO award winning artist
GARRETT MASON
Friday, October 26, 2018, 7:30 p.m.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m.

Restricted to 19+

Tickets $20.00, available in advance at:
Fisherman's Picnic General Store,
10 Pelham Street, Lunenburg, N.S.,
902-634-1932

Currently calling Lunenburg, N.S. home, Garrett Mason has been on the music scene for some 20 years and he is only 36 years old!
Garrett is typically linked to the blues but his style surpasses any genre, notes of country and rock compliment what is truly a unique and original sound. His technique is self-taught but that is not to say that he did not have many a great mentor along the way.
"It's a pleasure for our Lunenburg School of the Arts to present Garrett Mason in his first live solo concert in Lunenburg," says LSA's volunteer chair, the Honourable Wilfred P. Moore. "It promises to be a great evening with this very talented JUNO award winning artist."

Mr. Mason certainly takes his music more serious than he does himself. His guitar ‘licks’ are fascinating and packed with personality, his lyrics can switch from shallow to deep with each changing tune. What we can expect from Garrett is not often predictable but you can usually find him playing a sold-out show, dance-worthy guitar rhythms with a pleasant analog sound, and non-stop entertainment.
Some notable facts about the Truro raised boy; He has put out 2 albums 1 of which was Juno award winning, but that was 10 years ago. He never went away though, solely playing live music nearly 3 days a week, including every Tuesday night at Bearly’s House of Blues in Halifax. He has been mucking around in the studio again recently, which means we can expect some new tunes soon!
His father, Bluesman, Dutch Mason, of Lunenburg decent, would be the propelling force behind his musical career from the young age of 17.
All proceeds from this concert go to the Lunenburg School of the Arts Bursary Fund.

Stronger Together-Blanket Exercise-South Shore Region

Community Sector Council of Nova Scotia

Monday, 11 March 2019 from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM (ADT)

Lunenburg Library, 97 Kaulbach Street, Lunenburg, NS

The KAIROS Blanket Exercise™ program is a unique, participatory history lesson – developed in collaboration with Indigenous Elders, knowledge keepers and educators – that fosters truth, understanding, respect and reconciliation among Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.

The KAIROS Blanket Exercise™ is a workshop that explores the nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. Blankets arranged on the floor represent land and participants are invited to step into the roles of First Nations, Inuit and later Métis peoples. The workshop helps people to understand how the colonization of this land impacts those who were here long before settlers arrived. It engages people's minds and hearts in understanding why the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples is often broken and how we can take action together.

The KAIROS Blanket Exercise™ will be led by Debbie Eisan, Community Planner and Resident Elder with the Mi'kmaw Native Friendship Centre in Halifax, NS.

Ticket Options:

• Ticket $35+HST
• Sponsorship/Pay It Forward A: $35+HST (If you would like to sponsor another potential registrant who may not be able to register due to financial constraints you may do so with this option.)
• Sponsorship-Pay It Forward B: $Amount of your choosing (Donation)
