Wood before wires

Back at the start of July Arms and Sleepers breezed through town; Steve Ducharme of Mud Lake opened the show with some acoustic tunes - it was a bit of an odd combination ...

Steve strums!



Steve sings!



Well, you get the idea.



Bonus Steve!



He did get some help for a few tunes from fellow Mud Laker Ryan Hamilton.


The whole lot!



Acoustic action!



And so on ...


Post-Canada day patriotic action!



Gripping action!



Last I heard, Mud Lake tunes were being retuned for acoustic performances.
