While a lot of people leave the city for the weekend, a number stay in town. Quite a few of them ended up packing the Owl Acoustic Lounge for Andrew and Julie Scott, Sept. 3.

 I arrived mid set in time to catch the slide powered blues number “Liquor Pig,” my favourite song from his new CD “My Time in The Empire.”

He switched to ukulele to play a number of songs including a love song to his wife and more impressively, took a gulp of water and gargled out the words to “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” in a close to perfect Bobby McFerrin falsetto voice.

 He switched back to guitar for, among other things, a medley of “Ghost Riders in The Sky,”  Guns  n’ Roses ’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and The Foo Fighters’ “Times Like These.”
