Petunia shows are always strange, surreal  kind of events, especially when he is trying out new material with long time collaborator Nathan M Godfrey, who he was playing with at the Slice, Jan 25.

The duo played a gripping set of unusual jazz tinged classic country sounding like Hank Williams busking for dimes on Tin Pan Alley.

 They didn’t have a big an audience as they usually have but it was a respectful size and they sat enraptured throughout the set.
 Petunia showed off his unique warble, often breaking out into yodelling .

 For extra quirkiness, he broke out his kazoo for a solo. Meanwhile Godfrey sat and played tasteful slide guitar solos straight out of the delta.
