The Windy City Opry returned to the Slice, Wednesday, Oct. 9.
I arrived at the end of Quebec born, Calgary based singer -songwriter Emily Triggs’s set.
She played an intimate set with just a lead guitarist. She sang heartfelt, captivating folk and country music while her guitarist Ben played tasteful guitar solos. She ended her set with an original, more traditional folk/roots song, which she sung in French, and which she translated as “Leave Those Little Girls Alone.”
She had a who’s who of the Lethbridge roots and folk scene in the audience who sat enraptured by her.
I wanted to hear an encore, but it wasn’t meant to be as she made way for Taylor Ackerman’s Global Acid Reset.
I hadn’t heard them for a while and couldn’t stick around, but I could tell from the first big blast of electrified blues, that it was going to be a great set.
