The Owl Acoustic Lounge started off really slow, on Saturday, March 15 for songwriters Dave McKillop and Sault Ste Marie’s Kall
e Mattson and his band.
McKillop played and sang a solo set of mellow melodic folk acoustic music to a pretty much indifferent crowd.
But by the time Kalle Mattson and his tight band took the stage, people were basically hanging from the ceiling.
Mattson’s band played a stellar set, complementing Mattson’s pleasant vocals and rhythm guitar.
They played catchy, toe tapping, hook filled folk rock that had everyone paying attention. He also had a trumpet player to add extra textures. I was sad I only caught the last part of the set because it felt like they were just getting started when they ended around midnight.
