Lethbridge country band Hurtin’ prepared for this coming week’s gigs at Casino Lethbridge with a couple of hot sets at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Jan. 12.

 While apparently it was very busy before, things had died off a little by the time I arrived in time to hear their last set of the night, which began with an excellent version of “Michael Pagliaro’s “What The Hell I Got.”

Taylor Ackeman added extra acousitc guitar while Ryan Dyck played sorrowful steel guitar to fill out the sound provided by lead singer/guitarist Shael Pezderic, his brother Keenan on drums and their dad Marlin on bass.

 The followed that up with Dwight Yoakam’s “Guitars and Cadillacs” and some Waylon Jennings as well.
