Kayla Luky: Wednesday, September 21: 8:00. $15 door. $10 artists/students This singer-songwriter from 
Grandview, Manitoba tells small town stories, chock-full of well-crafted down-home tunes. If you’re hankering for some home cooking, Kayla Luky’s “The Time it Takes” will satisfy your hometown appetite. Luky has surpassed the spare, straightforward sound of her previous folk-pop projects and created a bona fide alt-country album. The players inject an audible intensity into already strong songs. Take the title track, which starts with Luky’s heavyhearted harmonica, enough to put you into a melancholy mood, but when the banjo enters the mix, you get a good hard yank at the heartstrings. The bluesy electric guitar is the perfect companion to Luky’s localized lyrics, which concern such community issues as pogey, puck bunnies and coffeeshop complainers.
