I cut the Windy City Opry short as I didn’t want to miss the long awaited return of Miss Quincy’s Jody Peck and Sarah Burton at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Wednesday, Aug. 14. But I caught them on a set break.
W
hile I was delighted to see and hear them for the first time in at least five years, I was disappointed by the lack of number out to see these two supremely talented ladies.
They had about a dozen people, half of whom left during the set break.
But they had a hard core table of fans there to see Sarah Burton, who has been living in Texas for a few years and was finally able to make it back to Canada.
Burton only had a guitar instead of the keyboards she usually plays, but was able to translate “old Sarah Burton” request like “Make Your Bed” onto guitar for her delighted fans. She also played a couple of tracks from her most recent album “Give Me what I Want” including “Desert Sky,” which she said was what she says when people ask her why she moved to Texas. Burton still has a beautiful voice that is reminiscent of Sheryl Crow and Kathleen Edwards.
Peck was happy to let Burton satisfy her fans, so happily picked out perfect vocal harmonies whole Burton played guitar.
But Peck played a couple of tracks from her soon to be released solo album including a cool song called ‘Play” and another impassioned highlight about being broken hearted while living in the north.
