Benjamin Tod | The Knitting Factory

Raw, unflinching, and deeply honest, Benjamin Tod brings his brand of Appalachian folk and outlaw Americana to Boise’s Knitting Factory. As the voice behind Lost Dog Street Band, Tod has built a reputation on hard-lived storytelling and stripped-down authenticity — songs forged from a life on the road, busking street corners, and writing with unguarded vulnerability. His music carries the weight of old-time country and folk traditions while feeling utterly personal, the kind of writing that lands somewhere between a confession and a gut punch. For fans of artists like Tyler Childers and Colter Wall, this is the real, rough-hewn heart of modern roots music.

The Knitting Factory is the perfect room for it. As one of downtown Boise’s premier concert houses, the intimate, general-admission space puts you right up close to the stage, with crisp sound and the buzzing energy of a packed floor. Located in the heart of downtown, it’s surrounded by bars and restaurants — making it easy to grab dinner and drinks before the show and keep the night going after.
