Singing Sons Of Beaches to play Libby on Jan. 16

Libby native Steve Riddle plans to make another musical appearance in his hometown – but this time it’s not with the Mission Mountain Wood Band.

Riddle, along with fellow musicians Greg Devlin and Nick Terhaar, will perform as the Singing Sons Of Beaches on Saturday, Jan. 16 at the Libby Memorial Center.

The Singing Sons Of Beaches perform an acoustic guitar act that features music, harmonies, comedy and good conversation. Songs revolve around Montana’s cities and people. The group has been taking to the stage for more than a decade now and has developed a strong following.

The group was originally formed as a three-piece acoustic guitar/vocal group that performed for families attending upscale dude ranches in the Flathead Lake vicinity. They would perform around campfires while families enjoyed the Montana sunset and roasted marshmallows along with a rendition of “Cum-Ba-Yah.”

The Singing Sons of Beaches gained attention by appearing on an episode of “America’s Got Talent” as well as performing on the nationally televised Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.

Riddle is a professional radiation oncology therapist and member of the Mission Mountain Wood Band, which gave a benefit concert in Libby this past summer.

Devlin is a financial and investment broker and member of The Singing Sergeants – the official chorus of the U.S. Air Force – and the featured solo tenor with The Montana Symphony Chorale.

Terhaar is a private finishing contractor on Flathead Lake and the oldest of a 10-child family from Miles City.

The show is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at presale locations for $15, or at the door for $20.
