Over at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, May 22,  ukulele and piano powered folk duo Twin Peaks were in the mood to share a whole bunch of new songs.Twin Peaks performing at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, May 22. Photo by Richard Amery


 The adorable Lindsay Pratt and Naomi Shore took turns singing lead vocals.
I arrived at the end  of their first set where they were leading a good sized crowd through a version of “Little Brown Jug.”


Naomi Shore played piano and ukulele as bandmate Lindsay Pratt alternated between ukulele and guitar and sang much of the lead vocals for the second set.


They cracked jokes and told stories of their lives, relationships and experiences growing up in a small town.
 They opened the second set by tackling Steely Dan’s “Dirty Work.”

Their vocals  sparkled  as brightly as Naomi Shore’s glittering blue blouse.
 Pratt  added a bit of pop on “God Damn, You look Beautiful and then showed some blues roots on the highlight “ The Juice Ain’t Worth the Squeeze.”


One of my absolute favourites of the set was a new song called “ Never Trust Your GPS” about the duo getting lost trying to find a shortcut  out of Fort. St. John.


 They followed that up with a solid cover of Tom Petty’s “ I Won’t Back Down.”
They ended their set on a quirky note by singing  a song called “Hair Panties.”
