Mercury Audio brings smiles with rockabilly

You can’t leave a rockabilly gig without a smile on your face, so Calgary based Mercury Audio’s show at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Nov. 29 was no Dylan Sadlier-Brown and Thomas Craib of Mercury Audio. Photo by Richard Ameryexception.


 I arrived mid-way through their first set and they already had about half of the full room dancing and the other half applauding wildly.


 Frontman Dylan Sadlier -Brown looks and sounds like his dad Mark Sadlier-Brown with just a touch of Watermelon Slim’s slightly slurred, marble mouthed vocals.


 They played an array of up tempo original music as well as some  choice rockabilly and  traditional county covers including Dave Dudley/  George Jones’s hit  ‘Six Days on the Road.’


 There was plenty of thumping stand up bass and hot rockabilly guitar licks backed by an endless backbeat.
 I particularly enjoyed one of the originals  ‘Some Girls, which wound down their first set.
