John Jerome and the Congregation brought a taste of east coast rock to the Owl Acoustic Lounge, March 22.
I arrived in the middle of a very ’60s influenced pop song complete with catchy hooks and melodic vocal harmonies.
The Moncton based band switched up their instrumentation adding mandolin and keyboards after that for a more straight ahead a set of ambient indie rock, while adding a smattering of ’90s style Brit rock which ended up sounding like a blend of the Stokes, Said the Whale and Blur.
They got the crowd clapping along just in time to end their show
The Brenna Lowrie band opened the show, unfortunately I missed their set.
