Since 1992 Brent has made his home in Saint John, New Brunswick (a division of the IRVING group) and played literally hundreds of club and festival gigs both within the region and as far away as British Columbia, where he showcased at MUSIC WEST'96. Though hard to label, with a variety of influences that bring to mind Bob Dylan, John Prine, the Grateful Dead and the Waterboys, Brent and his band (loosely, and we mean loosely, known as the Jartrip) have developed a reputation as musicians who strive for the unconventional and the MOMENT, never play the same show twice, and refuse to learn the words to Barrett's Privateers. Brent has shared the stage with a literal who's who of Canadian folk music, from Valdy, Murray Mclaughlin and Garnet Rogers, to Blue Rodeo, the Barenaked Ladies, and Susan Aglukark. In the process fame has eluded him greatly outside of New Brunswick, but that all may change with Brent's recent indications that he in fact DOES have a price.

What he's been up to:

Aside from changing diapers on his boy Isaac and as a subsequent result of that daily task realizing he is not in fact the centre of the universe, 1997 saw Brent Mason perform a mainstage showcase at the East Coast Music Awards (which, while enthusiastically received did absolutely nothing for his career). He had two songs included in a BBC documentary soundtrack, finished recording his 3rd (count `em, three!) album, STONY PLAIN, and raged against the machine through all of it.
