Description:
Ain’t nobody quite like Harry Manx. Nobody. Who else plays the blues on a 20-stringed Mohan Veena – a sitar, slide guitar composite created by his friend and mentor Vishwa Mohan Bhatt.
He, of course, earned a Grammy trading licks with Ry Cooder on A Meeting By The River. Manx spent five years with Bhatt in India learning the fundamentals of classical ragas, while adapting gospel and the acoustic blues he literarily learnt at the feet of such greats as Willie Dixon, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy. This glorious melding of roots, stretching from Mississippi to Mumbai, had Bruce Springsteen singing Manx’s praises. Taj Mahal and Ben Harper, too. “Bewitching,” trumpeted the storied, Guitar Player magazine. And as Manx’s skills blossomed, his music would grow more expansive and inspirational with the addition of a six-string banjo, cigar-box guitar, lap steel, and a stomp box, which earned him a trunk full of national awards – too many to list. And now, for the first time in several years, Harry Manx returns to Kelowna to showcase his unique, inspiring talents – surely a show to buy tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
