 I arrived in the middle of  Ghostkeeper’s set, which had an indie rock  mixed with ’60s pop set and even a touch of country music. There was some slide bass playing and  singer/guitarist Shane Ghostkeeper’s guitar riffs had a Native American feel and a touch of reggae in places. He played some impressive and intricate guitar solos and riffs and had the crowd dancing.Sunparlour Players switched instruments effortlessly. Photo by Richard Amery
Sunparlour Players’ unique brand  of power folk had  the trio howling like Elliott Brood. They opened up with thunderous drumming. Each of the members had a drum at their feet and alternated between several instruments including bass, keyboards, accordion and banjo. It was mind boggling watching them simultaneously play drums and other instruments especially  the accordion. They had the audience dancing throughout and singing along through most of their set, which ended around 12:30 in the morning.
