Canadian bluesman Harry Manx returns to Katoomba on November 3 to finish off his 2016 tour of Australia.
He played to full houses at The Clarendon Theatre in September to start the tour.
Known as the “Mysticssippi” blues man, Manx has been called an essential link between East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. He has created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to.
Manx has been called an essential link between East and West.
Manx forged his distinctive style by studying at the feet of the masters, first as a man in the blues clubs of Toronto during his formative years and then under a rigorous tutelage with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt in India. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, which has become Manx’s signature instrument.
Learning the voicing of Indian music is a subtle art that comes with time. Manx spent most of 12 years in India learning that.
Manx has toured the world for the last 16 years sharing his unique style of the blues and produced 15 albums of his music. His latest is the highly acclaimed 20 Stings and the Truth.
Don’t miss Manx for his final Blue Mountains show on Thursday, November 3. Book at the Clarendon on 4782 1322.
