Tanner James and Dylan Keating returned to the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Oct. 19.
 James used to play in Calgary/ Taber indie pop band the Nix Dicksons, but  strutted  his stuff on his own with steel guitarist Dylan Keating.
 

James has released his new CD  “How To Ruin Your Life with Women.”
 He wasn’t playing a lot of it when I was there though. 

The duo played capable covers of  “Wagon Wheel”  for a chattering crowd, not paying much attention, among others.
 

They played a few tracks off the CD in their second set including and excellent “The Highway Stole Your Heart.”

Another standout was a pretty song which had the catchy chorus “The heart is like the ocean.”
