2010 Polaris Music Prize Nominee Dan Mangan Announces The "Peculiar Travel Suggestions" Tour.
Hot on the heels of the August 10th U.S. release date of his Polaris Music Prize nominated album Nice, Nice, Very Nice, and almost a year to the day the album came out north of border, the 2009 Verge XM Artist Of The Year and three time 2010 Western Canadian Music Award nominee announces Canadian fall tour dates. From churches to halls to theatres, the "Peculiar Travel Suggestions" tour will see Dan and his band perform at some of the most beautiful and awe inspiring music venues this country has to offer. Supporting Dan on the eastern leg of the tour will be Harbourcoats, the new solo project from Constantines frontman Bry Webb while the western dates will see
Ontario's The Burning Hell open for the band.
"It's refreshing to take the show to some alternative venues and push for a more intimate and unique concert experience. To boot, I could hardly be more thrilled with the bands we're playing with - having met them both during an unbelievable weekend at Dawson City Music Festival. The Burning Hell blew me away up there, and Bry's solo work is equally as important, cutting and remarkable as The Cons'. Truly humbling acts."
In the meantime, Dan is currently making his way across the U.S. opening for bands such as Wooden Birds, Okkervil River, The Walkmen and Japandroids right up until mid September when he then heads across the Atlantic for three weeks of dates in Europe. Then it is over to New York for CMJ and the "Peculiar Travel Suggestions" tour begins. Of course Dan shows no signs of slowing down after that with Australian dates on the horizon for December and January.

"Mangan is not only a superior songwriter, but also a poetically compelling singer. ...Mangan establishes himself as a ferociously savvy songwriter with intense musicality. Every time you listen to this album, expect your heart to break more, not always out of sadness, but out of sheer awe at the simple beauty he weaves in his music" San Francisco Chronicle
