Black Pirate Pub Will host Wax once again.

Late last summer, Wax Mannequin played to a packed house at the Black Pirate Pub and people are still talking about it. Among the comments that persist about Wax’s last gig include questions about when he plans to roll through town again and what song will he cover this time around.
In fact, his covers have become somewhat famous (in Thunder Bay at least). Wax rocked out a Gordon Lightfoot cover last time, and the one before that saw him cover I Wanna Know What Love Is by Foreigner.
In terms of when he plans to play Thunder Bay again, the answer is this Saturday at the Black Pirate Pub.
The Argus attempted to contact Wax Mannequin by phone but the touring life keeps him pretty busy.
Speaking of touring, it seems Wax is always touring to some degree. Many regard him as a true “indie” artist in the sense that he continues to tour and record in his unique DIY style.
There’s an undeniable intensity in Wax’s performances, and that’s the reason so many keep going to his live shows. His live shows are better referred to as an “experience” rather than just a gig.
