Chris Drew and his band the Wicked Grins returned to the Owl Acoustic Lounge to play some  traditional country music.

 They  are Lethbridge’s go to backing country band featuring bassist Kieren Patrick Swinney, drummer Shyloh Haberman and lead guitarist Kevin Peters added a solid bed to Chris Drew’s music.

 

 I just caught the end of their first set, but waited around for the second, set which was mostly acousitic.

 

 Swinney added background vocals while Peters added hot, tasteful , twangy leads on a variety of original music, which blended traditional country and more modern outlaw cuntry acts like the Turnpike Troubadours and Tyler Childers.

 

 “I Can’t Make you Love Me” was a highlight near the end featuring the harmony vocals and leads.
