Harry Manx is a bluesman who plays a mean lap steel guitar and banjo. But there's more to him than that: having trained in India with traditional musician Visha Mohan Bhatt, he is a mesmerizing performer on the mohan veena (a guitar/sitar hybrid) and his music truly blends the sounds of east and west. He opens for Fred Eaglesmith — one of the great singer songwriters.
Fred is known to Vermont audiences for his Down by the River Festival held every year in Bellows Falls and also by his devoted legions of fans, nicknamed Fredheads. His shows feature a mix of passionate, funny and moving music, ridiculously funny comedy, honest tears and poignant observations. Eaglesmith's commentary on affairs, current ones as well as those of the heart, is hilarious, uproarious, and provocative, as are his plainspoken zen observations. As one reviewer said, "It takes a jaded soul to leave a Fred Eaglesmith show unaffected."
