Dan Mangan + Blacksmith
Dan Mangan’s vigorous new album Club Meds might take folks who consider him a simple CBC folkie by surprise.
It’s punchy, bold and a little bit dangerous thanks to the help of his official backing band, Blacksmith.
He told me all about the album’s creation and its themes of tuning out/purposely not tuning in for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Dan Mangan
Lover of robots and huggable beardo Dan Mangan is aiming for a bit of artistic reinvention.
The object of CBCer adoration recently worked on the soundtracks for Hector And The Search For Happiness and The Valley Below, and the billboards for his shows now list “Dan Mangan + Blacksmith” as opposed to “Dan Mangan” owing to the new band-centric nature of his music.
Mangan spoke to Sarah for Huffington Post Music Canada about this evolution when he was at the Toronto International Film Festival.
