Biography
Man Garden is a collective of Thunder Bay musicians who appreciate music as an art form, while having the best time possible. Man Garden's members have also played in Rummy Goes to Jail, Sueisfine, Encrypted in Flesh, and Vaya... as well as others. Man Garden began as Ian Monteith's songwriting outlet. After enlisting Kevin Sidlar and Jeff Ribotto a full band was created. Due to the unlikely and unfortunate breakup of Sueisfine, Todd Williamson and Chris Roy joined soon after making the group complete. We'll make you dance the junkie; we'll make you cry a river. Man Garden is music for music's sake.
