The interview guest for this week’s Stew is singer/songwriter Dan Mangan.

He takes us back to a time between albums.  After Club Meds ran its course, Dan decided to step away from the music business rat race, welcoming a second child and become a full time Dad.

In 2017 he felt it was time to return to writing and performing. Problem was,  he wasn’t sure the songs would be there or  that the music business, getting younger every month, was ready to welcome him back.

The result was a long road back, new co-writers and musicians, new studio, new label Arts and Crafts and a fine new album More or Less.

His fans welcomed him back with sold out shows and he found a whole new gaggle of fans with each performance.

We’ll talk about the blur of the  past year, starting with his appearance on The Jimmy Kimmel show , festivals all over the world including his main stage appearance at this year’s Edmonton Folk Music Festival in front of upwards of 25,000 people.

Dan is currently touring Europe – again!  It includes  a gig at Union Chapel in London October 1^st.

Not bad for a Dad from East Van.
