My timing was completely off on Saturday, so missed most of the shows I wanted to see including Tyrants of Chaos, who just finished by the time I arrived at the Slice.
I caught the main Saturday night show I wanted to see at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, March 24 — a songwriter in the round featuring Makiisma (Megan Brown), Kimberley MacGregor and Curtis Glas, who usually plays bass with Boots and The Hoots.
I missed most of this set too, including my favourite Kimberley MacGregor song “Trouble,” but she played some excellent new songs including a highlight comparing dating to shopping for clothes and trying them on.
Curtis Glas had the similarly sassy “What She Wants,” from his “The Hired Guns” EP from a few years ago.
The trio provided a contrast in styles with MacGregor’s big, soulful, bluesy voice, the more country and folk of Curtis Glas and Megan Brown’s alternative folk stylings.
She played guitar on her own songs and added fiddle to the other songs.
