[ROCK] Guitarist/songwriter Luke Doucet may have lost out on the Canadian Juno Award for Adult Alternative Album twice, in 2006 and 2011, but it was to none other than Neil Young both times – a hard act to beat. He finally snagged the award in 2015 as half of Whitehorse for Leave No Bridge Unburned (Six Shooter). The duo, which he formed with wife Melissa McClelland, has agreed to put their respective solo careers on hold to concentrate on making music together. The pair’s latest, The Northern South, Vol. 1, out this time last year, finds them revisiting a mid-century, retro-bluesy groove that fits their blend of co-ed harmonies and Doucet’s edgy guitar work like a well oiled mitt. They’re at the Leopard Lounge inside Town Ballroom on Friday, May 19, with special guest John Moore (53 Days).
