“An album of rare beauty” - Mail on Sunday
"One of the most thought-provoking writers of his generation" - The Sunday Times
“A great artistic leap 4/5" - Q
After rounding off 2011 with a stellar performance at End of the Road’s Christmas Shindig, Dan Mangan will be returning to the UK in April for an 8-date tour, kicking off in Brighton on April 27th. The full list of tour dates can be found below. Mangan will also be releasing new single ‘Rows of Houses’ taken from his critically-acclaimed album ‘Oh Fortune’ on March 19th.

Inspired by the film ‘Stand By Me’, ‘Rows of Houses’ will be released on March 19th through City Slang. Stirring, deep and dabbling with themes of mortality, the track is one of thePolaris Music Prize-nominated Canadian’s darker efforts and its accompanying video reflects these ideas, many of which appear throughout 'Oh Fortune'.
Having performed at numerous festivals from Glastonbury to End of the Road, played for Wills & Kate by request of the Canadian Government and joined the likes of The Walkmen, The Decemberists and Okkervil River on tour; Dan Mangan has proven himself to be a must-see performer with an incredible voice.
