Young Calgary based acoustic bluesman Mitch Belot played an excellent set of blues, country and folk for a somewhat indifferent crowd at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Feb. 22.
Belot chatted with them, standing, picking an acoustic guitar while playing a drum with his foot as he played a number of blues standards and originals.
He plugged in a Gretsch foa couple highlights including “Too Old To Die young” a hot, Hendrix style verison of “Catfish Blues,” then went acoustic again for a solid version of “Ain’t No Sunshine.”
His original song “There’s This Girl,” was a highlight. He ended his set with a hot cover of a Black Keys song.
