Back Adit show was well worth the admission, reader says

Letter to the Editor,

I feel a need to comment on the excellent musical treat I experienced Saturday evening, Feb. 11, at the Memorial Center here in Libby.

It was a most enjoyable program of listenable, danceable music performed by the four megatalented members of Back Adit, a local band.

That adjective does not adequately describe the group as they played a full three-hour concert to a sparse but appreciative audience. The program, from blues to boogie, country to comedy, and more, was so well-chosen and varied as to appeal to everyone. Their musical virtuosity and rhythmic precision evidenced many rehearsal hours.

I appreciated the display of talent – vocal and instrumental – which was presented at a moderate volume level. I love music too much to have to protect myself from an assault on my ear drums!

One disappointing factor was the meager attendance. The Memorial Center Board of Directors is working diligently to bring fine performing artists to Libby so I urge folks to take advantage of attending these cultural events, especially, if Back Adit should be on the agenda.
