Songs and Stories of a Modern Mohawk Continued
"Tiger" Will Mason
“Tiger” Will has been on stage for over half his life. From stage acting, film, television and music, Will has tried to excel in his art. He has a cover repertoire of over 500 songs, and many originals. He is very picky about his choice of what he plays for audiences; they usually reflect his views or his sense of humor. In 1986 he was given a spirit name by an Anishinabe elder: “Kahntahwi-wim'tchi'get,” which means 'Maker of Beautiful Music.'
This show features songs, mostly originals, with anecdotes and history, as well as stories from his life as a native growing up surrounded. Surrounded by people both his own but mostly not his own. Surrounded by bullies, allies, friends and animals...surrounded by friends, some family, and places where he has lived in his life: Niagara, Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa.
He combines native contemporary sounds, with bluegrass/newgrass/Americana/Canadiana, country rock, blues rock, folk and whatever else fits his fancy. He has a specialty in late 60s and 70s' music. He is also an actor, having acted on stage, TV shows and films as an extra/background performer, and a speaking role or two, since the 80s, about the time he began performing as a professional musician.
