Greater Port Macquarie - What's On
An Evening with Harry Manx
8:30 PM – 11:00 PM (Doors Open 6:30 PM)
The legendary Canadian Blues Guitarist and Singer Songwriter HARRY MANX, last here in 2010, returns by popular demand to Cassegrain Winery for an intimate concert on Wednesday 16th May 2012 as part of his national tour.
Harry Manx has spent years fusing eastern musical traditions with the blues, switching effortlessly between conventional guitars, harmonica, and banjo and the decidedly different Mohan veena, a 20-stringed instrument invented by Manx' Indian mentor Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Manx is often referred to as the "Mysticssippi" Blues Man, because of his expertise in melding both East and West music together and therefore, "creating musical short stories that wed the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas".
Over the last 10 years, Harry Manx released 11 Albums and has garnered a room full of awards including, "seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, the Canadian Folk Award in 2005 for Best Solo Artist and won CBC Radio's "Great Canadian Blues Award" in 2007. His most recent accomplishment was receiving yet another Juno Nomination for "Blues Album of the Year", for his release, "Bread and Buddha" in 2010.
Harry's newest album 'ISLE of MANX' has just been released which he describes as being the Desert Island Collection. It's an album of 15 songs, chosen by Harry that reflect his musical journey.
