On December 9th, Canadian folk/indie rock musician, Dan Mangan, brought his ‘Going Somewhere’ tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC.

The concert was opened by BC-born Noble Son, aka Adam Kirshner. Noble Son played songs from his previous albums as well as his newest release ‘Doom’. His well-crafted lyrics and sense of humour has the audience hanging onto his every word. We all wished his set had been a bit longer.

At 9pm, the lights dimmed and Dan Mangan arrived on stage by making his way through the crowd from the back of the venue, greeting people as he went. He opened with “Chrismas Song”, a track that he had written only a few weeks before. For the next 5 songs of the night, Mangan, armed with only his acoustic guitar, sangs songs that were requests from his fans via text messages. He dedicated “Fools For Waiting” to Nicole and Kevin, and “Jeopardy” to Mykala. Before “Aeroplane”, he joked that the gets a special kick when people request songs he didn’t write.

Then Mangan’s band came out on stage to support him for the rest of the night. They started with “Lynchpin” and right into audience participation with the crowd being in charge of background harmonies. Throughout the night, Mangan chatted and joked with the crowd who happily sang-along many of his tracks. The Juno-Award winning singer played a mix old songs as well as new material from his 2022 album ‘Being Somewhere’.

He ended the night in his usual fashion, by going right into the middle of the audience to perform “All My People” and “So Much for Everyone”. It was beautiful end to an incredible intimate show.

Dan Mangan’s Canadian leg of his tour came to an end in Vancouver, but he will be back on road in Europe in February/March 2024.
