Okanagen duo Windborne aka guitarist/ percussionist Jeff Pike and cellist Nils Loewen played an unusual show for a good sized crowd at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Feb. 8.
It was an unusual lineup with the cello and the guitar, but it definitely worked.
They played experimental folk music marked by spooky cello and some innovative slap guitar playing as Pike plucked the strings of his guitar like he was slapping a bass.
They incorporated a variety of styles of music including folk, some experimental jazz moments and a whole lot of blues as Loewen growled like Tom Waits on a couple of songs including an excellent version of “Ain’t No Sunshine.”
