I arrived as the new three piece Smokestack Jacks were tearing down.

Thanks to outstanding mandolin and banjo, there was the aura of authentic country in the air for Kory Istace vs. The Time Pirates. with just a trace of Elliott Brood mixed with Willie P bennett era Fred Eaglesmith.

There was some magnificent mandolin picking a touch of banjo and a lot of upbeat authentic roots music from Istace and company.

The band welcomed special guests on stage including Smokestack Jacks Dave Bullied as well as Taylor Ackerman and Shaela Miller who used to be in a band with Istace back in the day, played a song from their old band then they backed her on her song “Lonely.”
