Jesse Northey made his musical bones in Lethbridge before moving on to bigger things in Edmonton and now Toronto, so it was great to see him back for a visit and a show.
He played a wonderful show at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Friday , Aug 12.
While I missed Chloë Doucet’s opening set but caught Starpainter They always put on a good show and will be playing Upside Downtown today from 5-7 p.m.
Starpainter played their usual strong set of laid back, mid tempo country tinged rock music , playing music from their CD “Bury Me With my Family,” which they recorded with Northey.
Northey sat happily behind his keyboards playing enjoyable, groovy ’70s style soft rock.
“ I Am An Island,” from his new CD “Onion Knight” was a highlight as was “ Is This Real Love.”
