Another cool show this week had hardly anybody at it, was Schomberg Fair on Nov. 18 at Henotic. But first, John Kirby and Graham Peacefull opened with an up beat set of folk pop. They played a superb blend of punk and twisted gospel, highlighted by bassist Nathan Sidon’s booming baritone, which complemented guitarist/ singer Matt Bahan’s more tenor voice. The music was an intense combination of country twang and punk energy. Bahan added some impressive banjo thrown in which added to the ominous feel of the music which melded well with Sidon’s voice and some impressive drumming. Blind Mule took the stage after with a solid set.
