LUCAS MASON WITH GUESTS BRAYDON HALL AND OWEN MACDONALD — LIVE AT SONIC HALL

Lucas Mason is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from St. Catharines, Ontario, who is quickly emerging as one of Canada’s most promising new voices in the intersection of the country and folk realms. Raised in a musical family, he developed his sound early on – first learning piano, guitar, and vocals, while building a strong foundation in songwriting driven by experience-driven storytelling. In 2024, Lucas was randomly summoned on stage by Zach Bryan at a Toronto concert. His impromptu performance of "Heading South" went viral – reaching over 15 million views on social media – and introduced his natural and undeniable stage presence to a global audience. Since that formative moment, Lucas has been focused on building a distinct sound powered by raw authenticity and emotional honesty while drawing continued inspiration from Zach Bryan, along with Tyler Childers, and Bob Dylan. Through eight singles and his debut EP (2025's Almost 18), Lucas has connected deeply with a new generation of listeners in Canada and abroad, while earning radio support from North Americana on SiriusXM to go along with editorial playlist cover slots from Spotify ("North Country"), Apple Music ("Canada's Country" twice), and Amazon Music ("Just North of Nashville"). On stage, Lucas has built clear momentum, performing at major festivals including Misty City Music Festival, Big Valley Jamboree, North of Nowhere, and Sauble Beach Party to go along with notable stages like the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Halftime Show and The Horseshoe Tavern. With his newest single "Take My Time" setting the stage for his upcoming self-titled album, Lucas is taking his rising industry profile in stride while remaining true to his artistic honesty.

Owen MacDonald grew up in Cantwell, Alaska, a small settlement outside of Denali National Park with a population of 200. He spent his childhood playing ice hockey, adventuring outdoors, and learning what life looks like in a remote village. Owen first discovered his passion for music while singing in his tiny K-12 school’s choir class. At age 13, Owen started writing his own songs, using music as an outlet to cope with his parents’ divorce and feelings of isolation. He moved to Minnesota to pursue hockey and completed high school with dreams of playing in the NHL. Eventually, he began to question if hockey was his true calling as his love for music re-emerged, stronger than before. He converted an old chicken coop in the back yard of his father’s property into a small studio and taught himself how to play guitar and record demos. Owen’s deeply introspective lyrics connect with fans from all walks of life. Eager to tell his story and eager to find his footing, Owen’s writing illuminates universal senses of loneliness, self-doubt, aimlessness, and hope. Blending his unique vulnerabilities with folk/pop/country sensibilities and infectious melodies, Owen’s initial demos have already been featured on Apple Music’s Country Hits Unplugged (US), New in Country and Country Risers (Canada) playlists. He’s currently working on a new project and can’t wait to share it with the world.
