Rancho Deluxe had a good sized crowd at the Slice , Sept. 28 enjoying their own brand of country/ roots music.

 But there was a treat first— Pete Loughlin, who usually plays bass with Dave McCann played a solo set of his own music on guitar. I only caught a few of his song,s but enjoyed his voice as well as his harp playing.

 Rancho Deluxe put on a solid set of  originals. George Arsene sang them well and the band sounded great. How could it not with Taylor Ackerman on lead guitar, Tyler Bird on stand-up bass, Ryan Dyck on pedal steel as drummer Brad Brouwer keeping everyone together.

 Arsene sang several of his originals as well as covers. His cover of Chris Knight’s “House and 90 Acres” was one highlight.
