I only caught the end of Papa King and Scott Mezei’s show at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Feb. 7.
People were pretty much packed to the rafters as Mezei complemented Papa King’s delta blues stylings and gravelly voice.
He ended the first set with one of my new favourites “ Honeypie,” which he and Mezei jammed on for quite a few minutes.
Their version of the New Orleans swamp blues number “Mellow Down Easy,” was pretty hot as well.
