An all star local country band featuring Noeline Hofman returned to the Slice, Friday, April 7.
Hofman, backed by Trevor Christensen on guitar and vocals, pedal steel player Kevin Peters , drummer Brad Brouwer, bassist Kurt Ciesla and Megan Brown, adding fiddle and background vocals, played an array of classic country music.
I arrived as they were kicking into Hank Williams Jr.s’ “Whiskey Bent and Hell bound,” before playing Hank Williams Sr.’s “I’m So Lonesome I Can Cry.”
They added one of Noeline Hofman’s originals.
As I was leaving for the next gig, they were playing an excellent cover of Sturgill Simpson’s “ You Can Have the Crown.”
