Spencer Jo and the RiverJacks returned to the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Jan. 23 to play some amped up accordion powered punk music for a good sized audience.
Spencer Jo as well as River Jacks guitarist Jordan Barrett opened the show with sets of heartfelt acoustic punk music.
But the River Jacks were just getting warmed up for a big punk show the next night at the Vent in Coaldale.
They had plenty of upbeat energy and melody and accordion that reminded me a little of the Mahones mixed with the Dropkick Murphys. While I was used to them playing acoustic punk, this was a full bore, electric show.
So there was plenty of fun, up tempo music about drinking and punk music and much more combining a few covers with lots of originals, and barely any of them crossing the two minute mark.
“ Burn the City” was one of many highlights.
