It is always a pleasure to see Zachary Lucky back in Lethbridge. The Saskatchewan born, Orillia based songwriter returned to play the Windy City Opry at the Slice, Wednesday, Nov. 13.
I only caught the first couple of his songs. But was glad to catch Shaela Miller’s opening set.
She’s set herself a challenge to write a song every month and played one of them. Then she played a new song Richard Inman wrote for her. After that she channelled her inner Dolly Parton to play a couple of her hits including “Coat of Many Colours,” which perfectly suited Shaela Miller‘s inimitable warble.
Zachary Lucky focused on music from his latest CD “Midwestern.” He sang in a soothing baritone that was reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot. He told stories about moving to Orillia and meeting his wife at the Mariposa Folk festival and settling down to raise a family with her.
So a lot of the new songs were about the 2014 move and parenthood.
