A sparse audience enjoyed local country/folk singer Karen Romanchuk along with bassist David Popovitch and  guitarist Pete Watson perform at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, July 31.

She introduced the audience to a couple Willie P. Bennett covers as well as REM’s “One I Love” plus numerous new originals including one very cool blues tinged tune which  she “wrote while feeling depressed” which even her husband hadn’t heard before.

Popovitch laid down the groove while Watson added some tasteful acoustic guitar solos.
