Canadian Fall Tour Announced
I’m not alone in my assertion that Dan Mangan will win the Polaris Prize this year. I mean simple, infallible blogger logic would dictate the talented folkie will win the cash. (Hey, I’ve done the math and just makes sense.) Of course winning that would put the cherry on the top of a very successful Sundae year for Mangan. His 2009 album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice was recently released in the U.S., this time through Arts and Crafts. If that weren't enough there'll be no moss growing under this musician's acoustic guitar as he'll be heading across Canada once again this fall. The extensive tour runs from Montreal all the way to the West coast.

Dubbed the "Peculiar Travel Suggestions" tour, this time out Mangan will be hitting a lot of halls, theatres and churches across this geographically challenging country. Read my friend, (the Badtemperedzombie's) blog for an idea what to expect with her review from his appearance at the Calgary Folk Fest earlier this summer.
The first half of the tour will be opened by the Harbour Coats, featuring Bry Webb of the Constantines. The second half will be supported by the always terrific the Burning Hell.
(This Canadian jaunt will follow a lengthy U.S. outing, and a handful of European shows.)

There is nothing wrong with your math skills, my friend. Nor with your musical prognosticating.
It's impossible to have a bad time at a Dan Mangan concert, and I can't tell you how thrilled I am that he will be coming to my town with the Burning Hell! This news makes my day.
