Stanley Bridge hosts two connoisseurs of blues and soul. A natural-born vocalist, soul singer & songwriter Clerel nurtured his taste for melody in his coastal hometown of Douala, Cameroon, pulling from church hymns, afrobeat to French chanson. Clerel has appeared on the reality TV show La Voix (The Voice Canada), SXSW (Texas), Montreal International Jazz Festival, Vancouver Folk Fest and was a standout from our 2023 season. Alongside him, we have JUNO-winning true bluesman Garrett Mason. Son of veteran Canadian blues artist Dutch Mason, the tradition lives on in Garrett’s capable hands and voice, known for his show stopping guitar skills and authentic vocal delivery. Get ready for some groove & grit!
