Tony McManus | Steve Dawson
May 20, 2016 @ 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Tony McManus has come to be recognised throughout the world as the leading guitarist in Celtic Music. From early childhood his twin obsessions of traditional music and acoustic guitar have worked together to produce a startlingly original approach to this ancient art. In Tony’s hands the complex ornamentation normally associated with fiddles and pipes are accurately transferred to guitar in a way that preserves the integrity and emotional impact of the music.
To find a unique voice on so ubiquitous an instrument as the acoustic guitar is quite an achievement: to do so within a centuries old idiom where the instrument has no real history is truly remarkable.
Over the past two decades, multiple Juno Award winning artist Steve Dawson has become an indelible fixture on the North American musical landscape. Behind his seemingly endless stream of musical output, (he has produced, or played on more than 80 albums since the turn of the millennium) resides one of the hardest working musicians the country has ever produced.
A clear labour of love, it’s easy to hear the blood, sweat and tears that went into creating ‘Solid States and Loose Ends’. Filled with beautiful melodies, memorable lyrics, killer grooves and exceptional playing, the album is sure to have fans both old and new tapping their toes and humming along well after the final track has spun.
