The Nutcracker - Ballet Idaho
2024-12-14 19:00, 2024-12-14 14:00, 2024-12-13 19:00, 2024-12-12 19:00, 2024-12-08 17:00, 2024-12-08 12:00, 2024-12-07 19:00, 2024-12-07 14:00 | Morrison Center, 2201 West Cesar Chavez Lane, Boise, Idaho, 83725
What would the holidays be without Ballet Idaho’s magical production of The Nutcracker? The glittering anticipation begins as soon as the Boise Philharmonic plays the first overture notes of Tchaikovsky’s beloved score. The audience is swept into a magnificent party at the Stahlbaums’ home, where Clara and her family are celebrating the joy of the season as they await their guests. The mysterious Drosselmeyer brings a life-sized Nutcracker doll, and young Clara is immediately enchanted. When she falls asleep that evening, she is taken on a whimsical adventure through an epic battle with the Mouse King and his army, then to a sparkling snowy forest, and on to the deliciously color-saturated Land of the Sweets. This is a holiday experience to be cherished, year after year.

90’s Country Christmas
2024-12-08 19:30 | Nampa Civic Center, 311 3rd Street South, Nampa, Idaho, 83651
90’s Country Christmas

Johnny Rogers is returning for his 90’s Country Christmas. Considered to be the best years for country music. Johnny will sing artists like George Strait, Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, Tim Mc Graw and Brad Paisley
Featuring the Rocking Horse Medicine Show Band
Tier 1 tickets come with a meet & greet
About Johnny Rogers
Johnny Rogers was born in Jackson, Tennessee to parents who were born in the southern states of Kentucky and Tennessee. His father was a radio personality in the late 40’s and early 50’s, who crossed paths with some of the biggest legends of music history: Elvis, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr., George Jones, Lefty Frizzell, Marty Robbins and Conway Twitty, to mention a few. When he was very young his father gave him his first guitar. He had no interest in playing, until he heard Buddy Holly for the first time. The song was Rave On.
He said it was like someone or something turned a switch on inside of him. From that moment on he knew what he wanted to be in life and that was someone like Buddy. His father showed him a few basic chords. That was all he needed to get started playing.
While Johnny was in high school, he tried starting his own band, but finding kids his own age with the same taste in music seemed to be impossible. So, he began to look for older guys that grew up listening to the music. He started sneaking into the honky tonks with his father’s help and a fake ID. But he wasn’t there to drink he was there to learn about becoming an entertainer.
Johnny’s father was very good friends with a Chicago honky tonk legend by the name of Jimmy Nichols. Johnny’s father had given Jimmy his start in the late 50’s and now Jimmy would return the favor. Johnny started playing lead guitar for Jimmy Nichols at the age of 15. He was self taught and learned all styles of music. Johnny made his debut on stage at the Off Broadway Lounge. Immediately he was a big draw. People would come from miles around to see the kid with horn rim glasses and lightning guitar licks. Johnny continued playing guitar for the Chicago legend until he was 21 and it was time to start his own band and his own show.

AN IDAHO COUNTRY CHRISTMAS

Ring in the Holiday Season with some of Idaho’s best musicians! An Idaho Country Christmas will feature festive holiday classics and the best of each artist’s musical repertoire, with full sets by THE MIGHTY RED MELONS, BILL COFFEY & HIS CASH MONEY COUSINS, and JAMES COBERLY SMITH with LEANNE TOWN!

Do you Love Country Music? Do you love the holidays? Do you love local artists? Then this show will be the perfect holiday evening!

THE MIGHTY RED MELONS:

Idaho’s preeminent traditional country music tribute band, The Mighty Red Melons, plays good time honky-tonk music, created by Andy Byron and Randy Meenach. The Mighty Red Melons have been playing sold-out shows since 2018, honoring Country artists such as George Strait, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Vince Gill, and MANY MORE!

BILL COFFEY & HIS CASH MONEY COUSINS:

Bill Coffey is a singer, songwriter, and guitar player who seamlessly melds the heartfelt storytelling of country with the raw emotion and energy of classic soul. His rich vocals and evocative lyrics are set against instrumentation firmly rooted in the traditions of Americana music, while his unique musical identity and stellar lineup of Boise-based musicians, affectionately known as His Cash Money Cousins, defy prevailing boundaries between genres.

JAMES COBERLY SMITH with LEANNE TOWN:

James wasn’t made for these times. But in the 21st century, it is lucky to have a guy like him around. Because he writes and performs songs that belong to the ages; when they swing, they swing with the authority of real swing. When they’re blue, they’re about the deepest, darkest blue you’ll hear. And when they’re happy, the happiness is real, and it’s infectious, add the amazing LeAnne Town to the mix and they will bring the entire room to life!!
