Event Details

Harry Manx has spent decades fusing eastern musical traditions with the blues, switching fluidly between conventional acoustic and electric guitars, and banjo and the Mohan veena, created by Harry’s Indian mentor Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. His original music blends East and West ‘creating musical short stories that wed the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas’.

A worldwide festival favorite, Harry's 11 albums and ceaseless touring has seen him earn a slew of Maple Leaf, Juno and Canadian Folk Awards, nominations, and accolades from musicians and fans alike, not to mention tours of Australia with up to 50 shows!

On a wintry Chicago morning in February, Harry's beloved 20-stringed Mohan veena, was stolen from an airport carousel. Announced on his Facebook page, by the next day over 3 million people had spread the word, searching, building him a new one, and (apparently praying) for its return. The story from the Chicago Tribune was picked up by AP news service, and soon the whole world was learning about this exotic instrument, and the completely unique music of Harry Manx.

The good news is that the police found the culprit and the instrument 2 days later, and Harry got to feel the love and kindness of so many friends, fans and new fans!

And in the popular New York Times music blog by Val Haller, where she connects music from her baby boomer generation to artists of her 20-something son's mob, she urged fans of the recently deceased Ravi Shankar, to listen to Harry Manx. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/18/booming/if-you-like-ravi-shankar-listen-to-harry-manx.html?_r=0

February saw the release of Harry's 11th studio recording - 'Om Suite Ohm', distributed by Vitamin Records. This album reveals Harry's new 'Bollywood electric slide guitar' work, and steers Harry in a somewhat new direction. Featuring new instrumental compositions, original songs, an exceptional cover of John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme', guest vocalists and international collaborators, it's all in the service of a completely unique cross genre that's hard to pigeonhole, but easy to love.
