Born on the Isle of Man, Manx spent his childhood in Canada and left in his teens to live in Europe, Japan, India and Brazil. He honed his hypnotic live show on street corners, in cafes, bars and at festivals. But it was Indian music that captured Manx and in the mid-'80s, he began his five-year tutelage with Rajasthani Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy winner with Ry Cooder for “A Meeting by the River”).

Blending Indian folk melodies with blues, a sprinkle of gospel and compelling grooves, Manx's “mysticssippi” flavor is hard to resist, easy to digest and what keeps audiences coming back for more, according to a press release.
