The Windy City Opry brought in a good crowd of roots music fans Wednesday, Sept. 13.
I missed a solo set from Dave McCann, but caught the essence of a fun set of roots music from Peterborough duo the Mayhemingways.
As usual, they were impressive as Benj Rowland stomped at a set of bass pedals while alternating between accordion, a tenor guitar, a guitar and banjo.
Drummer Josh Fewings added an unstoppable beat.
A set ending highlight was the slower “Watching the Apples Grow.”
