He seduces you with ritual and chant.  His humor, sorrow, rage simmer between the surface of every note.  He storms across the stage as if crazed by his musical incantations.  Who is this sorcerer? Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Mikey Manville - a minimalist solo realization.

As a versatile singer/songwriter, Manville turns from soulful, folk-rock troubadour to a maddening front man in the psychedelic, blues-infused quartet, The Manvils. With every performance, Manville continues on his rock’n’roll pilgrimage in the name of his heroes, from the pioneers H. Williams Sr., J.Cash and M. Haggard, to the moderns, S. Earle, E. Smith and Marah.

Vancouver-based and native Torontonian, Mikey Manville has spread his intense musical sermon across North America. Connecting three times in three years with Chicago Producer and fellow tunesmith John Akred, multi-instrumentalist Manville is set to release his much anticipated sophomore solo record, “Broken Arms ” in the summer of 2007.
