great lake swimmers

Last night the Great Lake Swimmers, along with Kate Maki & Sandro Perri, played at Lee's Palace to a crowd seemingly fresh from the countryside. Adorned in flanel shirts, scruffy beards and a trucker caps, the Great Lake Swimmers capitvated the audience with their soft meandering melodies.
Sandro Perri opened the night with atmospheric jazz-infused folk song, along with a cover of "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King of Harvest. Kate Maki, from the Big Nickle (Sudbury), followed with some upbeat country songs. The real highlight was when Tony Dekker & gang hit the stage and played a set of current releases and songs from an upcoming album due sometime in the spring. Personal favorites were "Changing Colours","Silent Pictures Moving Film", and "Your Rocky Spine."
