Harry Manx performs live in Ottawa Canada in Concert at National Arts Centre Studio, March 07, 2013
He was born in Douglas on the Isle of Man UK and is now a Canadian blues guru. Harry is one of those fascinating musicians who does everything well. But three things really make him stand out from the crowd, he mixes the blues with the music of India in a way that makes it seem perfectly natural and just right, he often plays a special Indian guitar called the mohan vina, and, while he's doing those things, he usually sings and plays foot percussion at the same time.
Harry Manx is a regular one-man band. Music lovers all over the world are used to seeing him play full concerts to packed houses, all by himself. What makes this particular concert special is that Harry Manx invited four of his favourite musicians to perform with him at the National Arts Centre Studio in Ottawa: Indo-Canadian singer Kiran Ahluwalia , Australian keyboard player Clayton Doley, Australian multi-instrumentalist/singer, Yeshe, and from Ottawa: another fine multi-instrumentalist/singer, Steve Marriner. These are not just any musicians. As Harry says, each of them is unique and brings a special set of musical influences to the stage.

Harry Manx from the Isle of Man. grew up in Canada and then returned to Europe in the late 1970s to work at festivals as a blues lapslide guitarist and songwriter. He then moved to Japan where he lived and performed for 10 years.
In 1990, while Manx was in Japan, he heard a recording of the Indian slide guitarist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. It was not long before he contacted Bhatt and joined him in India. He became a student of Bhatt's and remained with him for five years. They traveled together in India and performed for large audiences.
in 2000, Manx moved back to Canada and set up residence in Saltspring Island, British Columbia and recorded his first Canadian album at the Barn Studios. This debut recording features 14 tracks of his one-man-band sound on the lap slide guitar, the Mohan Veena, the harmonica and vocals.
Manx has been nominated for six Juno Awards throughout his career, including the Roots and Traditional Album of the Year at the 2006 ceremony and Blues Album of the Year for Bread and Buddha (2010)
Manx's musical style has been called an "essential musical link" between the East and the West. His songs are "short stories that use the essence of the blues and the depth of Indian ragas to draw you in"
