Canadian Acoustic Indie Artist Ben Mahony

 

Ben Mahony Yukon Singer-Songwriter

"Ben Mahony writes songs. They're about things," opined Winnipeg based signer songwriter, Matt Allen. They once addressed the personal politics evident in "Dishwashers of the World unite and Take Over" or Math and Hindu Mythology strangely mingled: "I'm the Remainder, the Empty Container while you you're effortless sustainer."

 

In the nineties, he played in coffee shops and on busked on the streets of London and Guelph in Ontario and Vancouver and Victoria, BC. University days in Alberta brought him more into the realm of bar bands which ranged from the disco to the indie rock.

But it was in the Yukon where Mahony found greater inspiration, opportunity and experienced the fuller rock and roll colour wheel.

Greetings all: Had a great time playing at the High Country Inn with Daniel Dunphy and Chris Moir on Saturday night. Two Mahony originals, some disco dance and glitter... free olives and Yukon Gold.
