Dan Mangan at Bogen F in Zurich

Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Dan Mangan is playing in Zurich on 30 November 2022! He is an award-winning artist (he has won the Canadian JUNO Award twice). In 2003, he recorded his first solo EP, and in 2020 he delivered an acclaimed covers album, "Thief".

In October 2022, he released his sixth studio album "Being Somewhere", produced by Drew Brown (Radiohead, Beck). It cuts incisively but never forgets its underlying thesis: It’s cool to care.

Mangan arms the rebels in the crusade for tenderness. The album is a combative plea for mercy from a manic world and its effects on the psyche. Whittling his sharpest pen to date, "Being Somewhere" is marked by Mangan’s singular wit and a respectful deference to the quagmire of existence.

“I wanted this album to feel like the inside crook of a familiar elbow on the nape of your neck, a comforting embrace.” says Mangan, “These songs are tenderhearted and unfurl like an overdue conversation with a dear friend. They essentially lay out where we’re at, how I’m doing, and how I think I can help."

Support comes from Núria Graham. Half Irish, half Spanish, she grew up in the mountains of Catalonia, writes floating and airy pop songs. Influenced by classical music, film music and jazz, she pairs lightness with thoughtfulness.

You can get tickets at Seetickets. Tickets are CHF 25.90.
