Billy Manzik ~

Billy Manzik's musical journey began where Highway 61,
the "Blues Highway" ends, in Thunder Bay Ontario. The
soundtrack for his upbringing was provided by his guitar
slinging, country singing mother, and influenced by
roots rock, old rhythm and blues, and even (gasp) the
hair metal bands of the 80's, not to mention Billy's
penchant for wandering the continent. The result is a
driving blues rock sound, complete with catchy riffs,
lyrical hooks and a 'feel-good' toe tapping kind of
style.
Billy's new release "Alltogethernow" packages this sound
into one beautiful and diverse album, sure to catch the
ear of any who hear it. From the sweet harmonies of
'Hannah', to the wailin' bluesy rock of '61 Highway' and
the summertime pop sounds of 'Has Been', 'Alltogethernow'
combines musical ingredients so well it puts the icing
on the rock n' roll cake. Recorded at Orange Lounge
Studios and Knob and Tube Studios in Toronto and
produced by Chris Wardman with help from David Gavan
Baxter, 'Alltogethernow' is music for modern times.
Chock full of energy, hope, and a little melancholy, its
mostly just plain fun. In addition to Billy on vocals
and guitar, the album showcases the talents of many
well-known Canadian musicians, Geoff Hilhorst on keys,
Erik Allen on drums, Mike Filipowitsch on guitar and
Jonny Kerr on bass, plus appearances from many others.
Everyone, all together now! |
