The Owl Acoustic Lounge featured upbeat, energetic folk music with Johnny Good and Colin Rink, Oct. 15.

Rink was up first with upbeat original folk music which with touches of Bob Dylan and Corb Lund and even included an acoustic version of a Tom Morello song in his set. Then he broke a string, stopped to change it and returned for one more.

Johnny Good was aptly named. His music included a fleet fingerd classical influence as he started his set with an instrumental Flamenco tinged classical number.

 The underlying classical influence provided an interesting counterpoint to his R and B flavored vocals which accompanied it.

 He exhibited excellent vocal range and the goosebumps  which the attentive audience must have felt may have come from his voice or the chilly Owl or a combination of the two.
Just to show his range, he even knocked off a pretty impressive, more folky version of the Dolly Parton hit “Jolene.”

He followed that by launching into his own epic original which featured some classical composition and a classical style solo.
