A Very JCDC Christmas
2023-12-21 19:00 UTC | The Sapphire Room, 2900 W Chinden Blvd, Boise, ID, 83714, United States
Seattle Country Queen Darci Carlson and Boise Native Jeff Crosby return to The Sapphire for a special acoustic show with Christmas flair!
Darci Carlson – delivers a true country performance of foot stompin’ originals and classic country favorites drenched in hardcore twang. This isn’t Punk Country or a vanity act. This is a no non-sense, throwback, true country affair. A natural story teller, her songs highlight tales of her truth, youth, and lawless adventures, no matter how ‘wild, reckless & crazy’. Her smokey sweet lived-in voice reminiscent of the after taste of a shot of whiskey, has been compared to other leading ladies in the Country and Rock Genres such as Bonnie Raitt, Tammy Wynette, Patty Loveless, Miranda Lambert, and Courtney Love.
Jeff Crosby- has been sharing his unique perspective of Americana throughout the US and Europe over the past decade. After moving to Los Angeles CA in 2012, Crosby landed 2 songs on the hit FX series Sons of Anarchy which has led to the band continually performing over 200 shows a year throughout the US and Europe.Additionally, Crosby spent 2015-16 on the road playing lead guitar for Widespread Panic song-writer Jerry Joseph, as well as for Austin Texas road warriors Reckless Kelly in 2019. Crosby has co-written songs featured on Austin TX band Micky & The Motorcars recent release Long Time Comin’ and Reckless Kelly’s American Girls/American Jackpot.After spending 3 years based in Nashville TN, Crosby has returned to Idaho and will continue to tour with his band full-time in support of his most recent release NORTHSTAR (APRIL 2020) and the current single “Runnin’ Free” (MAY 2021) feat. Cody Braun (Reckless Kelly) and Produced/Engineered by Gregg Williams and Jonathan Tyler.

Gill Landry
2023-12-20 19:00 | The Sapphire Room, 2900 W Chinden Blvd, Boise, ID, 83714, United States
Gill Landry is a two-time Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, storyteller, visual artist, and writer.
Gill Landry is a two-time Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, storyteller, visual artist, writer, etc. With a career spanning over two decades, he’s released five solo albums on multiple labels as well as contributing to numerous collaborations with a diverse array of other artists. His journey has also taken him on countless extensive tours across the United States and abroad.
Born and raised between the musical landscapes of Louisiana and the Pacific Northwest, Gill began honing his craft as a busker between New Orleans, the West Coast, and Europe. In 2004, he joined Old Crow Medicine Show, who he worked with from their van-and-trailer days at dive bars and dance halls to the main stages of festivals, Grammy triumphs, and induction into the Grand Ole Opry. In 2015, Gill decided to part ways with the band, dedicating himself entirely to his solo creative pursuits.
Though under the Americana umbrella, each of Gill Landry’s solo albums is a testament to his versatility and his ability to craft music that defies easy categorization. While his musical styles may range widely from song to song and album to album, his writing consistently reflects a profound, honest, and often poetic exploration of the vicissitudes and joys of love and life. His debut solo album, ‘The Ballad of Lawless Soirez,’ was released in 2007 during his tenure with Old Crow on Nettwerk Records. In 2011, ‘Piety & Desire’ followed, produced in collaboration with The Felice Brothers and featuring guest artists such as Brandi Carlile and Jolie Holland. His eponymous third album, released in early 2015 on ATO Records, and featured a duet with Laura Marling and a rich tapestry of talented collaborators. In 2017, ‘Love Rides A Dark Horse’ was released the ATO and Loose labels. Gill’s most recent record, ‘Skeleton At The Banquet,’ was recorded in Los Angeles with producer/bassist Seth Ford-Young (known for his work with Tom Waits and Edward Sharpe), and was released just weeks before the onset of the pandemic.
A seasoned road dog, Gill has shared stages with an eclectic array of artists, including Laura Marling, Justin Townes Earle, Brandi Carlile, Michael Hurley, Ben Harper, Mumford & Sons, Bruce Hornsby, Warren Haynes, Andre Williams, and Nathaniel Rateliff, among others. In 2012, he played a pivotal role in the creation of the film ‘Austin to Boston,’ not only co-writing and narrating it but also performing and navigating every mile of the journey in a 1970s Volkswagen Bay Window. The documentary chronicled a 3000-mile tour from SXSW to Boston, featuring the musical talents of Nathaniel Rateliff, Ben Howard, Bears Den, and The Staves. Additionally, he’s in the Grammy-winning film ‘The Big Easy Express,’ which documented a train tour from San Francisco to New Orleans with Old Crow, Mumford and Sons, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
Presently, Gill lives on a ranch in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California, communing with nature and finishing up his next album ‘Cinnamon Canyon Blues’ which was produced in London with his friend Ted Dwane from Mumford and Sons and will be released in early 2024.

SIDEPIECE- HOME RUN TOUR
2023-12-15 19:00 | Treefort Music Hall, 722 W. Broad Street, Boise, ID, 83702, United States
While Dylan Ragland and Ricky Mears meant to start a side project, they weren’t totally expecting to create SIDEPIECE, the GRAMMY-nominated house duo that’s clocked more than 362 million global streams since its inception.
The two producers – Ragland makes music as fan favorite Party Favor and Mears produces as dancefloor igniter NITTI – first linked via DM in 2019 to share track ideas. Sensing their musical chemistry, they jumped on Facetime. By the end of the call, they’d registered the @youasidepiece social handles and their own figurative side piece had been born.
“It started out as a fun passion project because we both love and care about house music,” says Ragland, “but it’s grown so much bigger than we originally planned.”
Indeed, success came fast for the pair. SIDEPIECE’s second single, the 2020 Diplo collaboration “On My Mind,” aggregated more than 222 million Spotify streams and earned the trio a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance Recording. A flurry of hit singles have followed, with SIDEPIECE carving out a signature sound rooted in catchy vocals – “the most important element,” says Ragland – and the ever-intoxicating bump and grind house groove. Spanning tech house, bass house and beyond, tracks including “Acrobatic,” “Temptation,” “Sextacy” and their latest — the steamy dancefloor heater “Reborn” — are quintessentially SIDEPIECE: party-starting club records with a pop-lean and serious sex appeal.
“Huge streaming numbers are cool,” says Mears, “but seeing people in the crowd singing along to the song, that makes it all feel real.”

In 2013, he released his first album under his own surname, The Pop Underground. Maintaining his usual warm, upbeat vibe, this was the first of McMahon’s records to rely predominantly on electronics and synthesizers.

The Boise Blues Society
“A strong voice and a band with horns – great combination.” – John Mitchell — Blues Matters
The multi-award-winning Rae Gordon Band serves up a potent stew of gritty blues and heartfelt soul – soaring vocals with searing guitar counterpoint, high-energy horns and a hard-driving rhythm section with the power of a freight train.
Following their 3rd-place finish at the International Blues Challenge in 2017 (finals judge Walter Trout said afterwards, “I gave her a score of 10, the best score you can give. She made an incredible impression.”), the band released its third CD Better Than I Was, which has received airplay in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the UK and appeared on the Living Blues Radio Chart and the Roots Music Report Soul Blues Album Chart. The CD also won a Muddy Award for Best Northwest Recording from the Cascade Blues Association and the band received the Best Contemporary Blues Act Muddy Award.
This Boise Blues Society program is supported in part by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Highly Suspect
2023-12-11 20:00 | Knitting Factory, 416 S 9th St, Boise, Idaho, 83702
Two Time Grammy-nominated, festival-storming trio Highly Suspect, are returning with second album The Boy Who Died Wolf on November 18th. The moving, jubilant LP from the Brooklyn alt-renegades follows two Top 10 Mainstream Rock hits (“Lydia,” “Bloodfeather”) and two Grammy nominations (Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album) just one year from the release of their 300 Entertainment debut, 2015’s Mister Asylum. For the follow-up, the band — Johnny Stevens (guitar/vocals), and fraternal twin brother rhythm section Rich (bass/vocals) and Ryan Meyer (drums/vocals) — are reappearing stronger, livelier and more mature.
“The title The Boy Who Died Wolf, its like, we were so young and now we’re adults,” says Stevens. “I went through a lot of issues that I had to sort out and sometimes I cant believe that I’m alive. And now here I am traveling the world with my best friends, making music, and living the exact dream that we had set out to accomplish a long time ago … We’re learning a different lifestyle. And it’s good, it’s positive. But it’s also hard to let go of everything that happened in the past.”
That new lifestyle comes in the wake of success that’s snowballed since 2014, featuring Grammy nods; radio smashes; stops at major festivals (Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Reading and Leeds and so on); tours alongside Scott Weiland, Chevelle and Catfish & the Bottlemen to name a few; tours around the world including Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the UK as well as multiple headlining tours in the United States one of which is currently underway. The feeling of celebration infuses The Boy Who Died Wolf, while still heading into haunted regions of Steven’s past, yowling somewhere between the metronomic robot metal of Queens of the Stone Age, the bluesy wallop of Jack White and the feedback-shrieking noise-pop of In Utero-era Nirvana.
To record the LP, the band traveled far from their New York comfort zone to Bogotá, Colombia, recording with Mister Asylum producer Joel Hamilton (The Black Keys and Wu-tang, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello,).

While attending Kamehameha Schools as a boarding student on Oʻahu, she honed in on her songwriting. She found inspiration in a wide range of music from Hawaiian, Jazz and R&B-influenced individuals such as Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, India.Arie, Lauryn Hill, and Eva Cassidy. While an undergraduate at the University of San Diego, Kimié embarked on her first west coast American tour at age 19 with reggae star Barrington Levy. Following the tour Miner resided in Clarendon, Jamaica for a few months to write and work with Levy in the studio.
Kimié champions the idea that one should remain true to who they are and to approach their experiences with the pride of their heritage. Her songs regularly evoke the Hawaiian concept of the Piko: the “naval” or “center” which represents a home base to which one can always return. She notes that “As Hawaiians, we have our roots and our routes. We know who we are, and we take that knowledge with us when we navigate and explore the rest of the world.”
Kimié continues to be a hardworking entrepreneur and mother of three young children while running Haku Collective, established in 2016.

Jeff Rosenstock
2023-12-08 19:00 | Treefort Music Hall, 722 W. Broad Street, Boise, ID, 83702, United States
NO DREAM​ is the fourth full-length from Jeff Rosenstock. It comes at a time of unparalleled chaos and confusion, division and despair, the depths of which would have been impossible to predict when much of it was being written over the course of the last few years. And yet the record feels prescient, unexpectedly and uniquely suited for this moment.
“It was feeling like a very personal record for me,” says Rosenstock, newly settled in Los Angeles after a lifetime on the opposite coast. “A lot of it was stemming from the anxiety I was feeling from the last two years, this existential crisis of wondering who I am.” Rosenstock has found himself in a surprising position. As he puts it simply: “I didn’t expect to be doing well, in my life, ever.”
After building a cult following with the acerbic ska-punk of the Arrogant Sons of Bitches and DIY heroics of Bomb the Music Industry!, Rosenstock’s first proper solo record, 2015’s ​We Cool?​, was a step into uncharted territory, fully untethered from genre and expectation. Followed by 2016’s ​WORRY.​ and the surprise New Year’s Day launch of ​POST-​ in the early hours of 2018, Rosenstock was facing down that least punk of opportunities: a career playing music.

Hair - The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical
2023-12-08 - 2023-12-23 | Visual Arts Collective, 3638 Osage St, Garden City, ID, 83714
I believe in love, I believe in love, I believe in love, I believe in love
With a reputation that hasn’t faded, and an iconic score that changed pop culture forever, Hair is as relevant today as when it radicalized a generation in 1968. This revolutionary rock musical celebrates the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory. To an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show wows audiences with songs like “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Hair,” “I Got Life” and “Let The Sunshine In.”
Hair follows Claude, his best friend Berger, and their friends as they navigate their young lives, loves, and the sexual revolution, all while rebelling against the war, their parents, and society at large. Hair explores themes of identity, free love, community, global responsibility, and peace and reminds us that history is never far away
1969 Tony Nominated for Best Musical, 2009 nominated for 7 Tony Awards and winner of Best Revival of a Musical, the Obie Award, Off-Broadway Alliance Award, and New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award.

The Mystics

The Mystics are the Boise area’s longest-running classic rock group and the only one still with an original member. The group includes some of the valley’s best classic rock musicians – Lawson Hill (28 years with the Mystics), Rico Weisman (18 years), Don Cunningham (11 years) and founding member and longtime newspaper columnist Tim Woodward. The band’s extensive repertoire includes hits from the ’60s by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Byrds, the Everly Brothers, CCR, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, the Lovin’ Spoonful and more. And, because audiences are getting younger, newer hits by Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers, the Traveling Wilburys, Bob Dylan, Huey Lewis and the News and others.
Join us for dinner and drinks! The Sapphire Room features a full dinner and bar menu. The Sapphire Room is all-ages and family friendly. Every person that enters must have a ticket. No babes in arms.
