I was looking forward to seeing the Magnificent 7s back in Lethbridge, April 7. I arrived at the tail end of their first set, but unfortunately missed opening act Clapping Monkeys.
However the Magnificent 7’s brought a fiddle player along for an upbeat bluegrass/ rock infused ride, who really enhances the sound.
They deserved a bigger crowd than the 20-30 in attendance, but gave it their all with sizzling banjo licks, superb vocal harmonies, some wicked fiddle and a lot more.
While the sound left something to be desired in the first set, they pulled it together and then some in the second. There was a variety of original songs mixed in with bluegrass standards and fantastic interplay between all of the instruments.
