The Dawson City Music Festival dominated the middle of July. Events take place all over town. Here a large crowd gathers for a performance...
Ben Mahony followed with some hard hitting rock that just made your feet itch if you didn't dance. By the end of their set they had the people in the tent up and singing along...

The Dawson City Music Festival called Mahony: "Alterna-rawk with a northern edge" and reported that his band is "One of the most popular acts in the Yukon these days... Ben and the Beans are creating line-ups outside clubs and dances all over the Yukon..."

Bio
The electrified band, "The Ben Mahony Conspiracy," is a high energy band that plays intense power pop. Dancers at folk festivals and listeners at original rock venues have been impressed by this band whose recordings are being played on commercial radio and CBC in the Yukon homeland. The recent tour enjoyed the support of both Air North and Yukon Brewry. Mahony also plays solo acoustic sets on his chiming 12-string guitar. These quieter folky sets are thoughtful and humourous and Mahony has just secured a grant to record a new release which will capture the spirit and energy of these songs.
