John Mann
Saturday, May 15 8:00pm
Harrison Memorial Hall
Tickets: $20.00
John Mann, a 25 year veteran of the Vancouver music scene, is best known as front man and songwriter for Spirit of the West and as an actor on the CBC TV drama Intelligence, playing CSIS Director, James Mallaby.
After 11 albums and countless tours of the UK, Europe and North America with Spirit of the West, John Mann decided to return to his stripped down Alt Folk roots. He created a solo project called Mister Mann and released the album December Looms late in 2007.
On the new album, Mann pens beautiful melodies with emotionally honest lyrics that capture the intimate moments of his hometown Vancouver. These are the stories of real people, from the fragile details of their dysfunctional loves to the loss of a city’s innocence. One critic stated the strength of the album is “just John, a guitar and his trademark gravelly voice perfectly suited to the songs about his Port Town: Vancouver”.
What the critics keep coming back to when reviewing this powerful album is Mann’s combination of his comfortable, world-weary voice and his capable musicianship with his razor-sharp lyrics and wit. To reference the Alt Folk performers of today, if Damien Rice was Jeff Tweedy and Jeff Tweedy was Josh Ritter, you’d come away with something kindred to December Looms.
