Little Church in Big Baddeck Concert Series: Harry Manx
1450 Westside Road, Big Baddeck
Harry Manx has been dubbed an essential link between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. This unique “mysticssippi” sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to. His blend of Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, a sprinkle of gospel, and compelling grooves is hard to resist, easy to digest, and keeps audiences coming back for more. Showtime: 7:30-10pm
