Band's farewell show draws large crowd

Last weekend Shreveport lost Losing Anna. The band that earned the affection of local fans has called it quits. But first they gave us one last great show.

It's often said with sitcoms and other performances to stop while you are ahead. Give people something they love but stop while they still love it. I suppose that's what Losing Anna has done.

While Tuesday's Debut and Stellamaris opened the show, the crowd kept pouring in Flannagan's until the building was packed. I've been to a lot of shows at the venue and I'd never seen the place as busy as it was last Saturday.

When Losing Anna started playing, fans packed around the stage to take in the music one last time. The energy in the room fueled the band, making it one of their best performances.

The good music will be missed, but the group ended on a high note.
