Local roots rock band Rancho Deluxe played a successful CD release party at the Slice, Saturday, May 24.
I missed their first set and most of the music from the actual CD “ Lucky Stars,” but caught an excellent set of roots and country music featuring drummer Brad Brouwer, bassist Paul Holden , lead guitarist Tyler Bird and George Arsene singing lead vocals and playing rhythm guitar.
They played some John Prine and an excellent version of Cross Canadian Ragweed’s “Carny Man.”
Tyler Bird sang his always enjoyable version of the Volebeats’ Highway 318.
