Thomy Thisdale takes tunes indoors on a rainy day in Salmon Arm

Carbons' frontman performs solo acoustic set

The storm battering Salmon Arm with heavy winds and fierce rains Aug. 11 couldn’t stop the music as Tomy Thisdale and the Downtown Live concert moved indoors to the shelter of the Barley Station.

Thisdale, frontman of the Vancouver rock group The Carbons, made a stop in Salmon Arm this past Saturday to play a solo acoustic set of covers and originals for a packed house at the local brew pub.

It was a low-key performance that rounded out a grey and dreary Saturday with some soft acoustic notes and melodic vocals, spiced up by a high-tempo cover of Jailhouse Rock that earned a standing ovation from the crowd.
