As you might recall, Dan Mangan is one of my personal favourites. I’m rarely as instantly impressed with an artist as I was with Dan Mangan’s album Postcards and Daydreaming. Well, after talking to Dan today, I’ve found out that he will begin recording a new album beginning in October! I can’t wait to hear his new album. I hope you’re just as excited as I am!

Maybe, if we’re all nice enough, Dan will let us hear a preview when he’s finished – fingers crossed!

Be sure to check out one of his upcoming shows. Definitely a must-see!

Dan Mangan, Mercury Lounge Ottawa

Tuesday June 10th was Dan Mangan’s second time around at the Mercury Lounge last Tuesday. For the Merc to be close to capacity on a Tuesday night, this show had to be more “than your average going out to encourage a friend and his band” performance.

Said the Whale warmed up the crowd and then it was time for Dan. Joined by friends John Walsh on stand up bass and Andrew McCormack on drums, playing songs from the album “ postcards and daydreaming. They gave me the chills more than once. Dan’s voice is like a beautiful black hole that you just want to fall a sleep in with a smile and dream about his songs. He had the hole crown smiling.

My musical background is mostly electronic but when the music is good I can recognize it. He has such a simplistic approach to music. All he needs is himself and a guitar to deliver beautiful music. Check out this interview and live performance to see for yourself.

He will be playing more shows this summer, so here are some dates and other artists that he will be performing with.

UPCOMING SHOWS:
14 Jun 2008 22:00 Savannah Room (NXNE) Toronto, Ontario
25 Jun 2008 20:00 Vancouver Jazz Festival @ The Media Club Vancouver, British Columbia
30 Jul 2008 19:00 The Living Room NYC, New York
