I missed local blues trio Zojo Black’s weekend shows so made a point of being at the Slice, April 26, for a show which ended up being an unplugged, freewheeling showcase of local talent.
I arrived as Jenn Pellerin, Paul Kype and Steve Keenan were winding up a set of classic rock covers including “Me and Bobby McGee.”
After that, the audience was treated to a performance of gorgeous classic/ instrumental guitar playing by Tim Mulgrew, who played beautiful melodies and plenty of chiming harmonics.
I could only stay for a couple of Zojo Black songs when Greg Gomola rejoined Kype and Keenan.
They played a sweet Tragically Hip cover and followed it up with a solid version of CCR’s “ Have You Ever Seen the Rain.”
Kype sang an amazing version of the Allman Brothers/ Govt. Mule’s “Soulshine” and were just launching in to “Hotel California,” by the time I left.
