A good sized crowd caught revamped local country band Hurtin’ playing country classics and originals at the Slice, Feb. 8.
Lead guitarist/ vocals Shael Pezderic traded lead vocals with rhythm guitarist / keyboardist Taylor Ackerman while Danny Dyck added steel guitar. Ray Banman and Dustin Gergel locked in on bass and drums respectively.
I only caught one set which included a lot of honky tonk, a very cool Doug Sahm song sung by Taylor Ackerman about country turning pop in the ’80s called ‘Oh No, Not Another One.”
Pezderic sang a catchy original called “Hell for the Company.” They also sang a variety of covers from Ryan Adams and Old Reliable, as well as a few originals.
The contrast between Pezderic’s twang, and Ackerman’s more folky voice worked well together.
