Harry Manx

DIRECT FROM CANADA

Returning for his seventh Australian tour, Canada’s most awarded blues artist, Harry Manx launches his stunning new album, Bread and Buddha.

As Canada’s most awarded blues artist, his ten albums in as many years have resulted in multiple Juno and Maple Awards.

Harry’s been dubbed an “essential link” between the music of East and West. Having lived in Europe, Japan, India and Brazil, it was his five-year tutelage with Grammy Award winning Rajasthani musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt that forged his now signature East-meets-West style of music, infusing traditional American earthy 12-bar blues with a subtle hint of mystical Indian sounds.

Playing a multitude of guitars, banjo and the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, Harry envelopes his audience into “The Harry Zone” with his warm vocals and haunting original songs, plus his quirky reworks of some classic blues. 

“I’ve discovered something new tonight, seeing Harry play……… " Bruce Spingsteen
“For sheer musical adventure, few compare with Manx…… " Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald
