Canadian Acoustic Indie Artist Ben Mahony

Thanks also to the staff and patrons of The Goldrush Inn and the Roudhouse Tavern who shielded me from both the stinging dark of winter winds and the manic positive energy of the summer while my shoulder healed from surgery and while I tried to record this record. In that light, special thanks also to my surgeon, Dr. Hawkins who fixed my shoulder and showed me a photo from an archive which featured a relative of his who lived in the Klondike not so long after the Goldrush. By the by, Blake Cameron determined that your great uncle is standing in front of the Dawson City News building in that photo from the olden days.

Well, it’s here folks. Five years and thousands of dollars from wide-ranging sources later the latest audio epistle from the almost famous and always mercurial Yukoner, Ben Mahony is available for purchase and pouring over. It also makes an excellent gift and/or coaster.
 

I have four days off from grade 8 and have escaped from an illegal squat and will soon be staying in a basement on an air mattress (come visit me) and am trying to get more bookings in Alberta and Saskatchewan (book me). Soon I ll be done the CD (come listen to me) and will be playing CD release shows in Yukon (come see me). I 'm going to work here for several hours then go to the Roadhouse to watch the last period of the Habs game (come have a beer with me).
