Dan Mangan
Hot on the heels of buzz-worthy main stage performances at Winnipeg Folk Festival, Vancouver 125 in Stanley Park, Home Country Festival and more, Dan will be taking the stage at Hillside and Regina Folk Festivals among others before heading back across the Atlantic for the duration of the summer. Come October however, one of music’s most promising storyteller’s will be hitting the Canadian road to support his first album since the Polaris Music Prize shortlisted and multi-award winning album Nice, Nice, Very Nice. Produced by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Cave Singers) and now flanked with a stellar supporting cast, Dan’s rich and textured Arts & Crafts debut finds him further exploring folk music’s boundaries. With ambitious arrangements made on an ever-widening canvas and coupled with knowledge of when to lay down the brush, Oh Fortune is infused with the signature wit and wisdom that make Dan a fan favourite everywhere he goes. To be sure, this effort makes good on the promise of every song he's ever sung.
