There was a prominent article about this upcoming concert in the Valley News, and it reminded me of how much I had enjoyed hearing the bassist play with the Barbary Coast.
The venue was a bit unusual – at the Congregational Church on the Lebanon Green, but I found out this is part of the Lebanon Opera House “outreach” program. Better to have a full house here, than a lot of empty seats in the main concert hall. But I don’t doubt that this group will be back someday soon to fill the Opera House.
The concert was a lot of fun, with a mix of different styles. All three members sing well, and play a variety of instruments. They also had a drummer who did chime in from time to time.
After this concert, their website shows a tour going through obscure towns in Western Canada like Hnausa. Mali’s mother explained to me that this is actually part of an established house concert network, and that it can be quite lucrative. I wish them well on their tour!
