MANTLER
Originally a home-recording project, Mantler (Chris A. Cummings) has in recent years become a regular presence on the Toronto live music scene. Playing a wurlitzer electric piano accompanied by a 1970s Rhythm Ace drum machine, Mantler has made many fans among Toronto's music community.
Most recently Mantler has released his latest record Monody on Tin Angel Records, supported label mate Devon Sproule on her last European tour. This year Mantler is supporting Canadian super group The Junior Boys and is now touring with fellow canadian and friend, Sandro Perri.
