The Tongue N Groove had an excellent country-folk show on Thursday, June 2 with Calgary’s Cam Penner and his hot band.

His raspy, affable voice sounded like a more country Chris Colepaugh and the Cosmic Crew with a touch of Rodney DeCroo. He told stories and sang sedate songs about Texas gates in Montana and working late.

 While most of the set I heard was pretty laid back , he picked up the tempo in a Fred Eaglemsith style train song which was very cool.
