Harry forged this distinctive style by studying at the feet of the masters, first as a sound man in the blues clubs of Toronto during his formative years and then under a rigorous five-year tutelage with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt in India. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, which has become Harry’s signature instrument. Even though he had played slide guitar for many years before arriving in India, he started back at the beginning under Bhatt’s tutelage, even re-learning how to hold the bar. From there, Manx learned Eastern scales and eventually ragas, deceptively complex and regimented musical patterns that form the basis of Indian composition. He spent three to four hours each morning practicing in Bhatt’s home before returning that evening for a jam session with the tutor, his sons and various other fellow musicians. “Sometimes I’d throw in some blues licks in the middle,” he says, “and everyone would fall over laughing and enjoying themselves. And I thought if I can get Indian people to enjoy Western music like that, then maybe I could get Westerners to enjoy Indian music, too.” Harry decided to explore this thread of connection between the two musical traditions. His signature style follows in the footsteps of such pioneering work as that of Joe Harriott and John Mayer and their Indo-Jazz Fusions in the 60s, John McLaughlin’s work with Shakti in the 70s, and Ashwan Batish’s innovative Sitar Power debut in 1987. Manx’s Indo-blues hybrid seems destined to be the most universally appealing yet. Born on the Isle of Man, Manx immigrated to Ontario with his parents when he was six years old. He started doing sound at age 15 and gradually worked his way up to becoming a regular sound man at the well-known El Mocambo club in Toronto, where he worked with a slew of blues legends. While Manx doesn’t consider himself to be a blues artist per se, he does admit that blues is at the heart of much of his work. “I’ve always had one foot in the blues from those days … what I got from those artists is a groove that’s fairly similar to theirs. That’s what I’m particularly interested in … the groove, and that’s the way I play blues today”

I saw Harry a few weeks back, at the Bulli Heritage Hotel. What a fantastic show. I enjoyed it way more than I expected, as I’d only discovered Harry last year, online. If he’s back in Oz sometime, I’ll be there. 🎸❤️
Blue Mountains Theatre And Community Hub Springwood, AustraliaA terrific evening with Harry Manx and Geneviève Jodoin. Superb talents with a great vibe and sense of humor. Harry's songs are wonderful. The venue is warm and charming, the sound is excellent. Gotta see Harry more often!
Théâtre Petit Champlain Québec, QCSuperb performer at an excellent venue. He played for sets of over 45 minutes each, took lots of requests and interspersed the music with interesting anecdotes. Always a great show and this one was no exception!
Song Sparrow Hall Salmon Arm, BCOne of the best nights we’ve had in a long time. Wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Great venue. Harry’s playing was incredible- every note was spot on ! And mark Harris was absolutely flawless!!! ♥️♥️
The Rogue Folk Club Vancouver, BCAn intimate concert with a fantastic musician. The venue is nearly as quirky as the artist and both were delightful. Played all my favourites and added a couple of new ones to the list.
