They also perform original music following similar chord progressions, while working within the parameters of the genre. In making use of warm brass instruments in combination with vintage guitar tones, and accompanying them alongside doo-wop style harmonies, The Bromantics are reviving the era with a youthful energy. This contagious genre of music, combined with their high energy stage performances has proved successful in creating a nostalgic atmosphere that also promises to have everybody twisting the night away!

Born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, Brent Butt discovered early that being funny was a good way to get attention. Brent honed his comedy in school and at the age of 20 moved to the city to pursue a career in stand-up. Soon he was headlining top clubs in Toronto, and shortly after touring internationally and appearing at major festivals. His television specials secured his reputation as one of the funniest people in the country, but he was also busy creating his own TV series – Corner Gas. It became an instant hit with unprecedented ratings and numerous accolades including an International Emmy Award nomination, and was named "Funniest Show on TV".

Mann Art Gallery Exhibits & Events
New Summer exhibitions open Thursday, June 23rd and run until Saturday, August 20

David LaRiviere is a mixed media artist of European settler decent who grew up in Edmonton, Alberta. LaRiviere challenges the notion of “border” through large-scale installations and photographs that “offer a safe place to contemplate the decolonization of Treaty Six, the overturning of white suprematism, and other colonial impediments to our survival” (LaRiviere’s artist statement).

Tracy Fehr is a Métis mixed media artist from Manitoba descended from the Red River Settlement (St Boniface, St Norbert, Pembina). Fehr uses textiles, embroidery and found and worn fabrics help her articulate the lived experiences of family and to embody social, cultural and political aspects of Métis life.

Leah Marie Dorion is an interdisciplinary Métis artist raised in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. A teacher, painter, filmmaker and published writer, Dorion views her Métis heritage as providing her with a unique bridge for knowledge between all people. This exhibition is curated by our summer Collections Assistant, Milo Adair, and will feature 36 artworks from our permanent collection; these works were generously gifted to the Mann Art Gallery in 2015 by Dorion.
