I caught one of my favourites , “ I Own It” from her latest CD, “Blessings and Burdens” as well as the title track plus several sweet songs. She played a Shawn Colvin cover then took a break. Lethbridge Folk Club veteran Peter Gillian had a quick set next which included some Tom Waits Then McCarthy was back to play a couple more of her originals including “Footsteps,” “Avoidance” which was to be in the independent film Eight Dates of Paul and ‘her mother’s favourite song,’ ‘Watch and Learn.’
McCarthy showed off her stage presence, charisma and pretty country twanged voice. She will be using the video on her Facebook, Myspace www.myspace.com/jeangreermccarthy and Sonicbids www.sonicbids.com/jeangreermccarthy pages as well as to get summer festival gigs.
