Rancho Deluxe features some of the best musicians in the city backing George Arsene, so it is a given they were going to provide a good show.
They played the Slice June 23 for a decent sized crowd. Their set included a variety of country -folk tunes, some of Arsene’s originals and unusual covers.
Tyler Bird switched between guitar and stand-up bass while Taylor Ackerman traded off on steel guitar, guitar and bass.
Ryan Dyck concentrated on his pedal steel guitar while Brad Brouwer kept the beat on drums.
They wound down their set with George Arsene picking up a mandolin for a version of “Under the Boardwalk.”
