His unique sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to.\r\n\r\nBorn on the Isle of Man, Manx spent his childhood in Canada and left in his teens to live in Europe, Japan, India and Brazil. He honed his hypnotic live show on street corners, in cafes, bars and at festivals. But it was Indian music that captured his attention and in the mid 80s he began a five-year tutelage with Rajasthani Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy winner with Ry Cooder for A Meeting by the River). Receiving the gift of Bhatt\u2019s custom-made, self-designed Mohan Veena (a 20-stringed sitar\/guitar hybrid) was the catalyst for Harry to forge a new path with his now signature east-meets-west style of music. \r\n\r\nPlaying the Mohan Veena, lap steel, harmonica, stomp box, and banjo, Manx quickly envelops the audience into what has been dubbed \u201cthe Harry Zone\u201d with his warm vocals and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of his original songs. It\u2019s in the live setting, Manx says, that the bridge between \u201cheavenly\u201d India and \u201cearthy\u201d American blues is most effectively built. \u201cIndian music moves inward,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt\u2019s traditionally used in religious ceremonies and meditation, because it puts you into this whole other place. But Western music has the ability to move out, into celebration and dance. So when we play the Indian stuff on stage, it has the tendency to draw people into something really deep; they\u2019ll get kind of quiet and spacey. Then we\u2019ll play some more Western music, and it grounds them once more, they sort of come out of the mood the Indian music had put them in and get into the performance. I love to see that working \u2014 that effect on the audience. My goal has always been to draw the audience as deep as possible into the music.\u201d\r\n\r\nBlend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you\u2019ll get Manx\u2019s unique \u201cmysticssippi\u201d flavour. It\u2019s hard to resist, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"131636-21868858@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/131636", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"$25 - $35", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131636_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21868858 } , "133411-21872939": { "datetime_modified":"20250304T115736", "datetime_start":"20250430T000000", "datetime_end":"20250430T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-04-30", "date_end":"2025-04-30", "time_start":"00:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Summer Session in Epidemiology", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Summer Session in Epidemiology: Registration Now Open!", "event_subtitle":"Registration Now Open!", "event_type":"Class \/ Instruction", "event_type_id":"8", "description":"Join us for the longest-running summer program in epidemiology!
