[excerpt] That’s when Joel Plaskett, armed only with his acoustic guitar, showed up for a quick three-song interlude that had more charisma and flavour than most of the evening combined.
Plaskett, even by his lonesome, can rile up a crowd like no one else, and on Nowhere With You and Wishful Thinking, the entire hill became one big, dancing singalong.
As Plaskett waved goodbye to thunderous cheers and applause, one was left wishing the Halifax rocker would’ve been able to just keep on going — there was just too much potential there.
