As always, the annual Halifax Pop Explosion will be returning to the capital of Nova Scotia this fall. While the lineup has yet to be announced, the festival has confirmed one high-profile act that will be playing its 2012 edition: Dan Mangan.
Excitingly, Mangan will be participating in the annual team-up with Symphony Nova Scotia. Past artists to work with the orchestra at Halifax Pop Explosion include Joel Plaskett and Basia Bulat.
The concert will take place on October 19. A listing on the Symphony Nova Scotia website reads, "Experience Dan's rich, textured music combined live with Symphony Nova Scotia in his first-ever orchestral appearance."
Of course, it's hard to think of a more fitting candidate for an orchestral show than Dan Mangan. After all, this will give the Vancouver troubadour a chance to perform songs like "Basket" and "About as Helpful as You Can Be Without Being Any Help at All" as they were meant to be heard.
