Vancouver based roots quartet Johnnie Ninety-Nine brought a mainly sedate set of roots music to the Slice, Aug. 
14.
The band, which has only been together for a few weeks (though Johnnie and fiddle player Ariel have been playing together for several years) started on an upbeat note playing several up-tempo originals which featured fiddle, stand-up bass and vocal harmonies.
Stand-up bassist James Green took a turn on guitar for a couple covers including “Highway Song” by a mystery Saskatoon band and Bruce Springsteen‘s “Atlantic City,” as well as one of his own which sounded like a Ridley Bent song.
They ended up playing a pretty sedate set and even had a couple slow dancers but played an impressive first show for Lethbridge.
The band features members from all over Canada including a couple members of the Buffaloswans including Johnnie Ninety-Nine.
