Big Sugar became legendary early on for their live guitar-driven rock shows. From 1993's "Five Hundred Pounds" thru 2003's "Hit & Run", their signature sound evolved to include blends of heavy reggae, dub and blues. This, coupled with their relentless touring and recording, and their continued dedication to their fans, earned Big Sugar international success, top radio singles and platinum sales across Canada. Singles such as - "Diggin' a Hole", "Better Get Used to It", "If I Had My Way", "Turn the Lights On", and so many more are still being played at radio stations all over Canada. With their new 2011 album, Big Sugar are back, bigger and better than ever!

Wide Mouth Mason is a rock/blues/soul power trio comprised of Shaun Verreault (lead vocals/guitar), Safwan Javed (vocals/drums) and, as of 2010, Gordie Johnson, (also of Big Sugar and Grady (vocals/bass)). The band has released 6 albums, which have yielded such hit singles as "Midnight Rain", "My Old Self", "Why", "Smile" and "Change". Wide Mouth Mason's newest release is entitled No Bad Days which was released on July 12, 2011. Years of heavy tour schedules allowed Wide Mouth Mason to share the stage with groups such as The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, AC/DC, and The Guess Who. They have performed twice at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland (which resulted in the acclaimed 2009 DVD/CD release "Live! Montreux, Switzerland"). In 2002 Wide Mouth Mason became one of the first North American rock bands to tour China in the 21st century.
