Dan Mangan

Description

Dan Mangan brings Natural Light to the EA Rawlinson Centre on Oct 1, recorded over six magical days in a lakeside cabin with close friends. This return to folk music feels warm, reflective, and grounded, with songs built for quiet rooms, campfires, and honest connection. It carries both a gentle political edge and stripped-back storytelling at its core. A reminder of where songs begin and why they matter. Lean into the light and let it lead you back to the roots. With special guest: Micah Erenberg (The Secret Beach) is a Manitoba songwriter rooted in the Prairies and largely outside the usual machinery of the music industry–yet somehow, a favourite artist of your favourite artist. Drawing from country, folk, and the particular humour and melancholy of small-town life, his songs are filled with characters you know and places you've been. In 2025, The Secret Beach earned a JUNO nomination for Adult Alternative Album of the Year.
