Allen and Alexander getting better and better

Jenny Allen and Leslie Alexander are slowly increasing their fan base in Lethbridge. The duo, both who have relocated back to Alberta played an Jenny Allen and Leslie Alexander returned to Lethbridge, Jan. 27. Photo by Richard Ameryappealing set of Indigo Girls style folk-pop, Jan. 27 at the Slice, for their umpteenth Lethbridge performance.
 The duo took turns playing songs off their latest CDs as well as some new songs while adding extra guitar and beautiful vocal harmonies to each other’s songs.


They cracked jokes and showed how comfortable they were up on the stage, as they told stories and played pretty songs.


 Some of Leslie Alexander’s songs were highlights of their second set. Her song about New Orleans “NOLA” is an unabashed nod to the Kinks’ early ’70s hit “Lola” and borrowed a line from blues classic “Baby Please Don’t Go” while painting a vivid picture of post Katrina New Orleans.


 Allen chipped in a “happy love song” then Alexander played my absolute favourite “Supergirl,” as Allen added some washboard and Alexander played a kazoo solo during it.
