DAN MANGAN ANNOUNCES 2022 CANADIAN TOUR DATES
OH FORTUNE (10th ANNIVERSARY EDITION) OUT NOW VIA ARTS & CRAFTS
Dan Mangan is ready to announce that heβs returning to the road for a string of tour dates throughout Canada beginning February 25. Artist presale will begin tomorrow, December 7, followed by general public onsale on Friday, December 10 HERE. All dates are listed below.
Recently, we marked the 10th anniversary of Danβs pivotal, JUNO Award winning album, Oh Fortune. The LP has been re-released and arrives complete with a bonus disc of ten βmostlyβ unheard album outtakes, demos, and live versions of tracks from that era. In an essay reminiscing about the making of Oh Fortune, Mangan says:
“Four years of thought and trial-by-fire manifested in the creation of Nice, Nice, Very Nice. Iβd spent that time cutting my teeth in the corners of noisy bars to people who were there for the drinks and, almost specifically, not for the music. My presence was not anticipated, but, more accurately – tolerated. Sometimes Iβd had other musicians with me, but most often, I was alone. I felt like a comedian, chiseling my material in the underground. Figuring out what kept people, and what didnβt. I had to earn every perked ear. I played cafes, living rooms, back yards, sports bars – literally anywhere that would have me.β
βOh Fortune was born of a different kind of storm,β continues Mangan. βLuckily, Nice, Nice, Very Nice had succeeded. Those bars became theatres, and the momentum of a burgeoning career demanded a more consistent cast of faces in the van.
I knew that I had learned how to hold an audience. I knew that I had begun to unfold my mind through lyrics and melody.
Oh Fortune is about changing. Shifting. Adjusting to new footholds in new sands. Finding glory in letting go. Surviving another day and being a touch stronger for it. Itβs about dangling your legs for the sharks. Itβs about stories to tell as we age. Itβs about aching for rain. Itβs about the taste of something. Itβs about the veins of a leaf mirroring the rivers of its forest. It’s about flags burning together. Itβs about the daylight forgiving you.”
