I only caught the very end of Jack Garton’s set at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Thursday, Oct. 6.
But I was just in time to catch Galiano based multi-instrumentalist Garton and his band, bassist Joe McLennan and drummer Bramwell park, as they were playing my favourite “Move This Mess Around.”
Garton was doing triple duty playing trumpet, accordion as well as singing for that song.
They played an energetic set and even had a couple dancers.
The trio were called back for one last song — a jazzy number Garton played on keyboard that had hints of Joel Plaskett.
He got the attentive audience to sing along with him before calling it a night.
