notes
Harry Manx has been called an "essential link" between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with classical Indian ragas. He has created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to.
Born on the Isle of Man, Manx spent his childhood in Canada and left in his teens to live in Europe, Japan, India and Brazil. A five-year tutelage in India with Rajasthani musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, along with a gift of the custom-made mohan veena (a 20-stringed sitar/guitar) was the catalyst for Harry to forge a new path with his signature east-meets-west style of music.
His first album Dog My Cat (2001) caught the attention of new fans, musical peers and media with favorable reviews and awards. Three releases have since followed (Wise and Otherwise, Jubilee, Road Ragas) with rave reviews and strong sales, cementing a solid reputation for this artist amongst fans and musical peers.
West Eats Meet is Harry's much anticipated fifth album, released on his independent label Dog My Cat Records. Produced by Jordy Sharp, Harry's serene solo sound is enhanced with decorative elements of tabla, dholak and keys, along with backing vocals of newcomer Emily Braden and Australian trio The Heavenly Lights.
Ten new original songs delve Harry's experiences from Rajasthan to Toronto to Brazil and beyond. Blues fans will connect with his tabla-tinged take on Sonny Boy Williamson's Chicago blues classic "Help Me." The live show-stopping "Sittin' on Top of the World" turns an old tune into an Indian Bluesgrass banjo favourite.
Indian folk melodies, blues tunes spiced with gospel vocals and the unique "mysticissippi" style signals a richer, deeper sound for the music of Harry Manx.
