SPOT: Dan Mangan @NXNE

With North By North East Music festival fast approaching, tons of artists will be rummaging through the big smoke in the beginning of June. One such artist by the name of Dan Mangan, a Vancouver BC singer/songwriter has swept likes of CBC Radio 3 ala Podcast Host Grant Lawrence and his listeners with his all encompassing folk vocals that has stopped even the most rowdy and rambunctious crowds. The track, Unnatural Progression , stopped me in my tracks. His deep rooted, personal vocals and soft guitar backdrop will warm any evening – despite how sad and pensive they may be.

As part of his cross Canada tour, he’ll be playing a couple venues in June.

June 13 June 12 – Toronto – The Rivoli - "TMB Lawyers" Showcase for North-By-North-East (Time TBC)

June 14 – Toronto – The Savannah Room - North-By-North-East @10 PM. Savanaah room is a bit of a hole but will give a truely intimate vibe; guaranteed he’ll blow you away.

Dan Mangan – "A Passport Approved" Live on Indie 103.1
