Greg MacPherson, Tom Keenan (Manitoba Music, @Supermarket, Nov 22, 2011)

Greg MacPherson played an impassioned solo electric guitar set, shimmying and pacing all over the stage. His confidence was high and vocals and guitar rang clear, especially on opener First Class. The one man routine did grow tiresome after a while and wasn't fully saved by the addition of a drummer part way through. Nor the different drummer who joined him after that. Not that it was bad, just that it was much of the same.

With his acoustic, Tom Keenan sang mostly personal tales of failure, as he put it. Additionally he rocked a harmonica too. Nearing the end he implored us to singalong, to some degree of success. It was a decent set for another solo acoustic guitar but nothing to write home about.
