Manning

SingStar, school concerts, bedroom jams and busking on the footpath. That's the training Manning got, and the acoustic guitar has gone everywhere with him since. You'll find him in pubs, galleries and at weddings, or anywhere else with an appetite for someone playing live. The songwriting leans on sixties writers like Joni Mitchell, so there's folk lyricism in it, but the pop instincts are just as strong. triple j Unearthed called him charming as can be, which about covers the live experience too. Sydney based.
