Harry Manx
Thursday, September 21, 2006
original folk-world-blues guitarist
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $18.50

One of the most original folk-blues-world music performers around, Isle of Man-born Canadian, Harry Manx, forges a seamless link between the music of East and West by wedding the essence of the blues with the entrancing depth of polytonal Indian ragas. Stirring in a pinch of gospel, compelling grooves, and thoughtful lyrics, he produces a boundary-pushing concoction that's impossible to resist.

Performing on lap slide guitar, blues harp, banjo, and the guitar and sitar hybrid known as a mohan veena, Harry has gained a rapidly growing following since his debut album Dog My Cat (NorthernBlues) inspired raised eyebrows and widespread critical applause in 2001. Tonight he'll be showcasing tunes old and new, including numbers from his most recent CD, Mantras for Madmen.

Harry's intimate, magical live shows immediately envelop his audiences in what has been dubbed "the Harry Zone," where the musician mesmerizes all with his warm, weathered vocals and hauntingly beautiful melodies, his wry humor and great stories. Don't miss him!
