The Simple Life

From slinging trash to living in a VW van, musician Billy Manzik is roughing it and loving it

"Billy Manzik’s latest album, All Together Now, has the energy of a pickup truck loaded to the brim with musicians as it barrels down a dusty road. Raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Manzik’s music reflects the influence of his country-singin’ mama and a mixed bag of other genres—all the while creating a driving sound held up by raucous drums, playfully passionate vocals, and upbeat guitar. Whether he’s gigging solo or with a full band, Manzik’s sound boasts a range and rhythm that few performers can hope to match." | SCOTT MORLEYhttp://goodtimessantacruz.com/

Billy Manzik
All Together Now 
(Independent)

This is the Thunder Bay native’s second release, which, when you hear it, will send you scrambling for his first one to see how such a thing could happen. Billed as “music for modern times”, it’s a powerful roots-rock assault that hits every pop nerve you’ve ever pumped with proteins.

If you like the wall-to-wall Americana roots then music of Canadian guitar slinger Billy Manzik is right up your musical avenue

Varied and exciting, the music of Manzik and ensemble of pickers has both an eclectic and adventuress feel, as rock, country, blues and pop groove as in ‘Has Been’ slot in alongside one another.
