Harry Manx
“the Mysticssippi Blues Man”
Harry Manx has spent years fusing eastern musical traditions with the blues, switching effortlessly between conventional guitars, harmonica, 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 musically he lives where the depth of Indian music meets the groove of the Blues. Blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you’ll get Manx’s unique flavour. It’s hard to resist and keeps audiences coming back for more.
Manx is returning to Australia, and is bringing a whole new album to share with audiences.
With seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, a gong for Best Solo Artist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, come and see for yourself why Manx has been described as “Canada’s most expressive Blues player”.
