Four familiar faces chasing strange jams, deep grooves, and the occasional cosmic accident.
Not quite the real thing. Close enough to make you question reality.

Dram & A Draw is a modern take on the classic East Coast Kitchen Party. Drawing inspiration from the musical past of the Atlantic provinces, acoustic instruments are brought together with a danceable energy that creates a rowdy pub atmosphere in any room. Original storytelling and addictive melodies keep the tunes in your head long after the show is over. Their songs "She Was A Maritimer" and "East Coast Town" sing about the places we call home and the people who make them unforgettable.

With a sound that blends traditional Maritime folk with contemporary roots and a touch of Celtic flair, Dram & A Draw delivers performances that are as heartfelt as they are high-energy. Whether playing to a packed pub or an intimate gathering, the band’s tight harmonies, driving rhythms, and infectious charisma invite audiences to sing, stomp, and raise a glass.

Old Man Luedecke is the recording name of two time JUNO award winning and Polaris prize  nominated singer songwriter Chris Luedecke. A multiple East Coast Music Award winner  known for his high energy banjo driven stompers, touching guitar ballads and dry humorous  stories, Luedecke has been making a soundtrack to an authentic life for nearly twenty years.  

Born in Toronto and long time resident of the country near Chester Nova Scotia, Luedecke  began recording in the early 2000’s DIY folk scene of Halifax. He made his two JUNO winning albums for Black Hen Music in the late 00s with Steve Dawson as producer at Vancouver’s  famed Factory studio. While on a tour of England in 2009, he met and supported folk roots legend Tim O’Brien who produced Luedecke’s next two albums. Tender is the Night was recorded at John’s Prine’s Butcher Shoppe Studio in Nashville in 2012 and 2015’s Domestic Eccentric was recorded in a cabin Luedecke built himself at his home in NS. 2019 saw Luedecke recording Easy Money at both the Banff Centre in Alberta and at Hotel2Tango in Montreal.  

Songs like “I Quit My Job” at the beginning of his career and “The Early Days” at the beginning of his family and dozens of other fan favourites trace a warm line of effort, sadness and joy and  provide a soundtrack to many peoples’ own progress through adulthood, touching a rare place of truth and charm in the holiness of the mundane. His performing style with his easy going humour and storytelling creates a rare space of hopeful and intimate magic.  

Luedecke has kept up many worldwide concert appearances, playing in Europe and around  Canada and the USA and six trips to Australia, including a memorable tour where his whole  young family travelled with him around rural Queensland for the Festival of Small Halls.  

In May 2022 Luedecke was awarded an honorary doctorate from King’s University in Halifax for his cultural contributions.

Garrett Mason is a true bluesman at heart. He was raised in Truro, Nova Scotia by his mother Pam, and father, veteran Canadian Bluesman Dutch Mason.

His father stopped playing guitar before Garrett was born, and although he was not able to teach his son how to play, he was certainly able to teach Garrett the structure of the Blues, and to influence his son about the resulting sound.

Surrounded by his father’s peers Garrett has had the benefit of hearing and learning from a wide variety of musical talent. Garrett’s favorite recorded music, at 3 years of age,  was that of Canned Heat and Buddy Rich.

What really sealed the deal for Garrett to become a blues guitarist came after watching a video of Stevie Ray Vaughn “Live At the El Mocambo” – he was hooked.
