About your instructor:
Lia Tupou’s dance journey began at the age of four, nurtured by a family with deep ties to music, and movement. Born in Oʻahu and raised in the Bay Area, she trained with the esteemed Hula halau O Nalua and ʻOte’a ʻApi group, refining her skills in Hawaiian and Tahitian dance. From an early age, she performed nearly every weekend at church events and community gatherings, driven by a passion for sharing her Oceanic heritage through dance. Now a mother, she hopes to instill this same love and cultural connection in her children and community. This year, Lia is honored to join Nonosina on stage at the prestigious Merrie Monarch Festival, marking a significant milestone in her lifelong journey as a dancer.

Tennis w/ Real Estate
2025-08-28 20:00 | Treefort Music Hall, 722 W. Broad Street, Boise, ID, 83702, United States
Face Down In The Garden, Tennis’ seventh album, is both culmination and reflection of their career. From the perspective of fifteen years on the road and ten thousand miles at sea, frontwoman Alaina Moore attempts to distill the arc of a life into vignettes: a first moment of connection, a conversation at a wedding, a night offshore, a sprawling tour diary.
The album is succinct but potent, highlighting Tennis’ concise songwriting and unconventional arrangements. Self-produced and recorded in their studio, Tennis builds upon their early minimalist girl-group sound, expanding into more mature synth-pop and rock elements.
The duo met in the University of Colorado’s philosophy department in 2008, when Patrick Riley recognized Moore as the waitress from a diner he frequented. (This moment was later immortalized in their song Hotel Valet.) After graduating, they spent eight months living aboard a small sailboat, voyaging along the eastern seaboard–a practice that would become integral to their creative process. Their debut album Cape Dory (2011, Fat Possum) documents that experience. Tennis booked their first tour through the help of a robust DIY scene. While on the road, their lead single “Marathon” went viral, gaining them sudden notoriety. Cape Dory debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseeker chart and transitioned Tennis from house shows to main stages in the course of a year.
Tennis recorded their sophomore effort Young & Old (2012) with Patrick Carney of the Black Keys, marking their first collaboration with an outside producer and their television debuts on The Tonight Show, The Late Show, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
In 2013, Tennis spent sixteen days recording with Richard Swift in his home studio in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Moore and Riley were heavily influenced by Swift’s distinctive approach to engineering. This prompted the duo to build their own studio and take over production and engineering roles on future releases.
Moore and Riley solidified their creative autonomy by forming the label Mutually Detrimental in 2016. Yours Conditionally, their first self-release, became their most commercially successful album, charting on Billboard’s top 50 vinyl sales and proving their DIY roots as a cornerstone to their sound and narrative.
Swimmer (2020, Mutually Detrimental) marked a sonic evolution. Moore and Riley expanded their palette with unique time signatures and arrangements, stepping fully into their roles as songwriters and producer-engineers. But with nearly every show sold out, Swimmer’s momentum was cut short by the Covid-19 pandemic. The duo spent the time at home exploring their role as producers by making records for other artists.
Tennis has continued to thrive by operating on the fringes of the music industry. They’ve survived the flash-in-the-pan fate of so many bands from the early ‘00’s blog-era. Their sixth album, Pollen, saw them grow into the biggest tour of their career, with sold out shows at historic venues like The Beacon Theatre and The Palladium.
Face Down In The Garden is Tennis’ most fully realized work. Crafted entirely by their own hands and guided by their fierce independence, it stands as testament to a band unwavering from their original vision. Tennis embarks on the first leg of their North American Tour in May.

Real Estate
A band for 15 years now, with a half-dozen records to its canny name, Real Estate knows how
the press cycle inevitably goes: Someone somewhere at last had a realization about what their
songs needed to say and how they should sound, so (at least according to brief biographies like
this one) they finally made the best album of their career. But here’s the thing: Real Estate has
been so consistently compelling for those 15 years, with their coruscant indie rock shuffles
perfectly reflecting the spellbinding glow of suburban ennui, that they know when they have
done it. That is, they know when they have written songs that shimmer and fetch and radiate
despite or because of the gloom lurking in their grooves. It is the gift and curse of self-
awareness, of sticking together since childhood.
So Real Estate, in turn, needs you to know that Daniel—their sixth full-length album, recorded in
an ebullient nine-day spree in RCA Studio A, in Nashville with celebrated producer and
songwriter Daniel Tashian—is quite possibly their best album. In 11 compulsively tuneful songs,
they connect the uninhibited wonder of their earliest work with the earned perspective of
adulthood. What more could you need from Real Estate at 15?
Martin Courtney knew he wanted to write a pop record, a set of instantly accessible songs where
the chorus arrived in, say, the first 40 seconds. During the last decade, or essentially since
making Atlas, Real Estate did what was only natural for any beloved and freshly aging indie rock
institution: They gently pushed back against praise as an effortlessly melodic and quietly radiant
band. Colors darkened. Textures curdled. Songs stretched toward the six- and even seven-minute
mark. But what if, as Courtney and cofounder Alex Bleeker often say these days, they again just
“Let Real Estate be Real Estate,” to shimmer and fetch and radiate without hesitation or second
guesses?
Courtney actually learned of Tashian through his daughter, who adored an album he’d produced,
Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour. The band reached out and spotted an instant connection despite
their distinct wheelhouses—the Grammy-winning Nashville country-pop guy who’d helmed
several smashes and the Northeast indie rock quintet with narcotic guitars. Real Estate had never
really worked with anyone who wasn’t already a bud. There in Dave Cobb’s famous Nashville
lair, Tashian was not shy with his outsider advice about how to boost this song or that one, even
playfully throwing the occasional candy bar to emphasize he wanted to hear more. Real Estate
had been thinking about R.E.M.’s Automatic for the People and ’90s “soft-rock radio,” the
background music of their youth. Tashian helped lead them back toward it, toward an improved
edition of the less self-conscious band they’d been at the start.
Daniel certainly sounds like classic Real Estate, simply leveled up with the subtle but unabashed
touches of a producer who has actually lived inside pop powerhouses. The chiming guitars and
plaintive verses of “Haunted World” summon the band that first emerged to acclaim in 2009,
with Courtney doing his best to sing his way around existential confusion. But in the chorus,
dexterous instrumental harmonies (that’s Nashville ace Justin Schipper on pedal steel) and faint
backing vocals propel the song anew, its tight hook snagging in a second. Tashian suggested they
fortify the refrain, and he was right.
Or there’s the marvelous thrum of “Airdrop,” with Bleeker’s busy bass and Sammi Niss’ insistent
drums pushing Courtney into the wistful chorus as if he’s riding a hang glider. “The sun went
down/We let it,” he sings four times to end the song, the lines essentially built to be cooed back
at him from a crowd. “Never been so contented/I won’t ever forget it.” That’s Real Estate’s long-
relatable smiling sadness, lifted in proper Music City style. Listen, too, for Real Estate’s
squiggly versions of classic Nashville licks during “Flowers,” where the mercury of pedal
steel and the twinkle of a Wurlitzer illuminate acoustic strums like stars in the night sky. A
song of dislocation and constancy, it’s a reminder of the common way we use music no
matter the genre or scene—to find our way forward.
Daniel is a complete string of these compulsive moments: the crisscrossed harmonies of “Water
Underground,” the delightful sway and rise of “Market Street,” the enchanting but deceptive
simplicity of “Interior.” Real Estate manages the rarest of pop tricks here—to sound effortless
but be artful, with all the flourishes and tricks tucked so smartly into songs that you only spot
them when you unpack what makes all the tunes so winning and sticky.
But this, of course, is not the Real Estate of their MP3-blog salad days. Four members are
married, with Niss in a long-term relationship. There are actual kids in the equation now. And the
world outside has darkened considerably in 15 years, in all those ways that require no recounting
here. Time and again, Daniel wrestles with that juxtaposition—external alienation and madness,
internal responsibility and hope. These are songs of confusion, of trying to find a way to be
present and better in broken times. “Now and then, I can pretend the sun is shining,” Courtney
admits during “Freeze Brain,” the keys of Matthew Kallman and guitars of Julian Lynch framing
a lambent haze around him. “Let’s let some light in.” Ain’t that the struggle, to find some joy
despite all the forces that filch it from us?
In Nashville, all five members of Real Estate shared a rental, cutting up in close quarters after the
imposition of separation of these last few years. Several days into recording, they were
discussing album titles when someone suggested “Daniel,” simply because it seemed funny to
bestow a human name upon a record. Was it for Daniel Tashian? Maybe. Was it a nod to The
Replacements’ Tim? Possibly. Was it the sign of a band that has now been around long enough to
take its music seriously without taking itself or its perception too seriously? Absolutely.
Daniel is a record of wonderful pop songs, its string of hooks and stream of worry irresistibly
connected in the way few bands have ever done better than Real Estate. But perhaps just as
important, it is an expression of the self-acceptance that can come with maturity, with realizing
it’s enough to be who you want to be. “What is it that you want to hear? There’s only so much
time,” Courtney croons during “You Are Here,” Daniel’s ingenious and strutting finale. “Best we
can do is be happy here/Sing another line.” It is a mission statement for Real Estate at 15, a
reminder that they are the band of their childhood dreams and that is cool. To that end, they’ve
never been better at being Real Estate than they are right now, on Daniel, their new best album
yet.

DIRT MONKEY x SMOAKLAND - SUPER BASS BROS TOUR
2025-08-28 20:00 | Knitting Factory, 416 S 9th St, Boise, Idaho, 83702
Dirt Monkey, aka Patrick Megeath, has carved his uplifting, bouncy, and unique sounds within the Denver, Colorado dubstep scene and has gained international acknowledgement with his punchy and playful sound design. His tracks have gained support and captivated audiences via many pioneers, such as: Skream, Benga, Rusko, Datsik, Excision, A-Trak, Virtual Riot, Anna Lunoe, Annie Nightingale (BBC Radio 1), Downlink, Ganja White Night, and Protohype. Dirt Monkey’s Remix of Rusko’s “Woo Boost” has recently hit the world by storm, was released on Subcarbon Records, and to top it all off, is supported by the don himself, Rusko. Although this eclectic music junky enjoys a wide-variety of music, he has gravitated towards the trippy, crisp sounds of IDM and the wonky, high-energy sounds of old school dubstep and strives to fuse the two together.
He has worked with a wide-variety of artists including: DMVU, Space Jesus, Illenium, Party Wave, Run DMT, AMP Live, and Jantsen. Dirt Monkey has performed at a countless number of breathtaking venues, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, clubs in France, and Beta Nightclub in Denver, CO (where he has held a residency for the last 5 years). Also, for the past four years, he established and ran the record label, Kairos Audio, with the help of co-founder, Jantsen.
In the future, expect this virtuoso to continue carving a niche that does not exist yet in the music scene and stay on the look out for a 5-song EP coming out in Spring 2017 on one of the most reputable labels in the world. Although, Dirt Monkey is extremely versatile to say the least, his true wobbly greatness will continue a movement within clubs, both boutique and world-class venues, and the colorful festival scene.

RANDY TRAVIS The More Life Tour
2025-08-28 19:00 | Morrison Center, 2201 West Cesar Chavez Lane, Boise, Idaho, 83725
Much of the success of modern country music can be traced to one man, Randy Travis. His arrival signaled the start of the “new country” sales explosion of the mid-1980s. Travis was the first country artist to go Platinum with his disc debut, and the first debut country artist to go Multi-Platinum. With lifetime sales in excess of 25 million, Travis is one of the biggest multi-genre record sellers of all time. His honors include seven Grammy Awards, 11 Academy of Country Music statuettes, 10 American Music Awards, two People’s Choice awards, seven Music City News awards, eight Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association and five Country Music Association honors.
Now, Travis is bringing the magic back in 2025 with his highly anticipated More Life Tour! Following a successful 2024 run, Travis, his original touring band, and special guest vocalist James Dupré are set to deliver an extraordinary musical experience to fans across the country.
The More Life Tour promises a memorable journey through Travis’ extensive catalog of chart-topping hits, enhanced by video highlights showcasing his celebrated career in music, film, and television. Although Travis will not perform vocally due to the stroke he suffered in 2013, his presence on stage will be a cherished highlight of the tour. Joining him will be his wife, Mary, as they engage with fans and interact with the band, bringing the iconic songs to life once again.
James Dupré will take the stage alongside Travis’ original touring band to perform some of his most beloved No. 1 hits, including classics like “On the Other Hand,” “Forever and Ever, Amen,” and “Three Wooden Crosses.”
In reflecting on the tour, Randy Travis shared, “The More Life Tour celebrates something so much more than a musical moment in time—it’s a gift to me to spend time with my fans, and my band, as James Dupre perfectly presents the songs that best define my career. We look forward to seeing you all somewhere along the way.”

Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening/JBLZE
2025-08-27 20:30 | Morrison Center, 2201 West Cesar Chavez Lane, Boise, Idaho, 83725
On the heels of a successful tour that wrapped last December, Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening/JBLZE is back with another round of U.S. dates. The latest tour will be a first for JBLZE as it will focus on the 50th Anniversary of the Led Zeppelin classic, Physical Graffiti. The latest 21-city trek is billed as An Evening with JBLZE Celebrating 50 Years of Physical Graffiti. JBLZE has never done a tour that was centered around a specific Led Zeppelin album before as Bonham live celebrates all things about his father, drumming legend John Bonham. The show will feature all the selections from Physical Graffiti performed alongside numerous other Led Zeppelin classics.
“This is my favorite Led Zeppelin album of all time. Being able to celebrate it the way we are planning on this tour is something I am extremely excited about. I can’t wait for people to come out and see these shows and celebrate this extraordinary record with us. My goal is to play at least 50 shows to commemorate 50 years…and don’t worry, there will be plenty of other songs that you also love played that night,” explains Jason Bonham.
A spectacle of top-flight musicianship, arresting visuals, mind-blowing lighting, and emotionally charged storytelling, Rolling Stone hailed it a “set of Led Zep gems that were strikingly faithful to the originals,” while Billy Joel handpicked JBLZE to open up a handful of dates. Like his father, Jason remains forever at home on the drums.

The Budos Band w/ Say She She, VIKA
2025-08-27 20:00 | Treefort Music Hall, 722 W. Broad Street, Boise, ID, 83702, United States
Two years after releasing the Frontier’s Edge EP, The Budos Band are returning with their first full-length since 2020’s Long in the Tooth. Titled simply VII, the new album sees them doing what they do best: laying down hypnotic, horn-spiked grooves that menace and mesmerize in equal measure.
Produced by Budos guitarist Tom Brenneck with Simon Guzmán engineering, VII features 11 tightly constructed new tracks that draw on the group’s wide range of influences, sounding like only The Budos can. It’s music for getting down, for nighttime drives, and for alternate headspaces — a beguiling mix of mystery and rhythm that stands with the formidable work they’ve released in their two decades of recording.
“We didn’t really go in there with a concept on VII,” drummer Brian Profilio says. “It was the first time in two years that we were together in a studio so we were like, ‘Let’s see what happens.’ We ended up writing 11 songs in three days.”
These 11 songs run the gamut, featuring sweaty, hard-hitting funk workouts like “Escape from Ptenoda City” alongside explorations of Turkish psych in “Night Raid” and Zambian rock in the riff-heavy “Overlander.” It continues the stylistic evolution the group began with 2014’s striking, shake-things-up album Burnt Offering.
“It’s almost like we’ve refined the sound we were going for on Burnt Offering,” Brenneck says of VII. “It’s not quite as raw.”
“That’s the genreless aspect of the band,” saxophonist Jared Tankel agrees. “We’re not Afrobeat, we’re not Ethiopian jazz. We’re not world music. We’re not really funk, we’re not soul. We’re not rock. We’re just an amalgam of all these different sounds, so things pop out in all directions when you listen.”
As usual, these songs are chopped up and splashed with the heavy horns so integral to The Budos sound, weaving melodies through the muscular rhythms and even deepening the groove when it calls for it.
“Horns can occupy a melodic space, even though it’s not a voice,” Tankel says. “They can also occupy an articulated and rhythmic space. Playing with that duality is cool.”
VII was recorded in California and serves as The Budos Band’s first full-length album on Diamond West, the independent label founded in 2023 by Tankel and Brenneck. It’s also the group’s first album to include instrumental contributions from percussionist Rich Tarrana, who previously played in the Frightnrs. All told, it succeeds in opening up some new sonic spaces while staying tethered to the intuitive, unique musicality that made them such a sensation from the jump.
“Sometimes it’s like we’re speaking some esoteric language that no one else understands except us, and we’re doing it wrong,” Brenneck says. “It’s like how the Stones tried to play the blues and they missed the mark and they made something new — everything The Budos tries to do, we do wrong, and it sounds like The Budos.”

Say She She
Say She She, the soulful female-led trio, stand rock solid on their disco-delic duty with their boundary-breaking sophomore album Silver (released September 29 on Colemine/Karma Chief Records). The strong voices of Piya Malik (El Michels Affair, Chicano Batman), Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown front the band. Following the NYC siren song, the trio was pulled from their respective cities — Piya from London, Nya from DC, and Sabrina from NYC — to Manhattan’s downtown dance floors, through the Lower East Side floorboards, and up to the rooftops of Harlem, where their friendship was formed on one momentous, kismet evening.
Silver was written and recorded live to tape at Killion Sound studio in North Hollywood in early 2023, and produced by Sergio Rios (Orgone, Neal Francis, Alicia Keys). While these analog recording techniques help root Say She She’s sound in a bedrock of tonal warmth that only tape can achieve, it is also their process of cutting the track in the moment and capturing the magic of communal creativity that have critics reeling.
Musical inspirations include Rotary Connection, Asha Puthli, Liquid Liquid, Grace Jones, and Tom Tom Club.
Described as “a glorious overload of joyful elation and spiritual elevation” (MOJO) and “infused with the wonky post-disco spirit of early 80s NYC” (The Guardian), the band consistently tops the radio charts of tastemaker stations KCRW and KEXP, as well as BBC’s Radio 6 Music. Sold out shows from London to Los Angeles and televised appearances on CBS Saturday and Later…with Jools Holland are a testament to a rapidly growing fan base. Say She She has toured with the likes of Thee Sacred Souls, and have already played iconic festivals like Glastonbury, Central Park Summerstage, and more.
Ultimately, Silver oozes with quirk and adventure and embraces the multifaceted nature of what it means to be a modern femme. Say She She fully embrace their role as beauticians, actively reminding people of the inherent beauty in the world. They skillfully employ double entendres and humor to encourage open dialogue and fearlessly address important matters that demand attention.

VIKA
VIKA coins an uncategorized vintage sound purely inspired from her own experiences with nostalgia, love and loss. Her sultry voice captivates audiences with her passion and haunting power. “Emerging on the indie scene with her raspy Amy Winehouse style, VIKA has carved out her niche, continuing to embrace crowds with her melodic lyrics, showcasing her growth not just as a musician but as a visionary artist inspired by icons of the past” (Gordie Tamayo, Boise Beat). With equal parts of heartache and hope seen through her past and latest releases, VIKA is undeniably vulnerable, cultivating a path by following the cosmic power of love.

Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic
2025-08-27 - 2025-08-31 | Ann Morrison Park, 1000 S Americana Blvd, Boise, Idaho, 83706
The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic has a long, successful award winning history in Boise.
The first gathering of balloons held in Ann Morrison Park was June, 1991.
Steve Schmader, President of the International Festivals and Events Association, and event producer, Scott Spencer, partnered to produce the spectacular Boise River Festival Hot Air Balloon Rally. When the Boise River Festival was no longer held, Kevin Godwin of Townsquare Media and Scott got together to continue the iconic tradition of ballooning in the Park. In 2010 the Boise River Festival Hot Air Balloon Rally became the Sprit of Boise Balloon Rally.
We lost the founder of this event, Scott, in early 2020. He had an unequaled love of ballooning and this, along with his imagination, vision and energy is still felt each year as the balloons fill Ann Morrison Park. 2025 is the 34th anniversary of the Scott Spencer Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic.
Hosted annually at Ann Morrison Park, the event brings together locals and tourists alike who enjoy being surrounded by endless colorful balloons, inspiring music, and their favorite local radio stations.
All launches are weather-permitting, however they typically take place starting at 7:15 a.m. and last until as late as 9 a.m. You can frequently see the hot air balloons soaring over downtown Boise, with the occasional balloon falling on historic landmarks, including building rooftops, right in the middle of Broadway avenue, and even the front lawn at our Capitol building!
With free tethered rides on Cap Ed Kids, a chance to meet aeronauts each morning and a one-of-a-kind Nite Glow spectacular, the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is truly an event you need to experience!
*NOTE: There are no public balloon rides available at the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic. Kids can do a free tethered balloon ride on CapEd Kid’s Day, Wednesday, August 27th. (first come first serve)

Red Light Challenge
Red Light Challenge is a powerhouse pop-rock duo that’s like if The 1975 and OneRepublic had a baby at a Coldplay concert. It’s Sean and Kyle Luster, brothers and best friends with undeniable onstage chemistry and witty banter. These two misfits, originally from Hawaii but now based in Boise, Idaho, mix catchy melodies, infectious music, and lyrics so personal, it’s like they talked to your therapist before the show. Sean plays the bass, Kyle shreds the guitar, and they alternate lead vocals over a tapestry of tracks while throwing in sibling harmonies so magical, you’ll think you’re at Disneyland.
With over 700 live shows—including festivals like Treefort Music Fest and Boise Music Festival—Red Light Challenge is known for throwing a party so electric, even the speakers get nervous. Offstage, they’re creating thoughtful, story-driven music videos (like their “Play Pretend” music video from 2024) and skits that’ll make you think, “Should I be laughing at this?” Yes, yes you should be. They’ve also got big hearts, partnering with causes like Ronald McDonald House Charities and the National MS Society to raise funds and spread good vibes.
Known for their DIY approach, Sean and Kyle write and produce their music in a tiny bedroom (it’s like, real DIY), run their own social media pages, and have a bond that makes you believe in sibling superpowers. New music? It’s coming. Summer tour? Oh yeah, it’s about to get real. Red Light Challenge is like that perfect playlist—always fresh, always fun, and always filling each listener with the right feeling at the right moment.

Wasted
Forming in late August 2023 as a tribute to their beloved friend Jadin Zurawski, Wasted is a raw 6 man beatdown hardcore band whose music embodies a slap to the face or a stomp to the head. Playing shows with the likes of Snuffed On Sight, Bodybox, Psycho-Frame, Slime, and local Idaho legends Ingrown. Vocals: Matteo Martinez, Vocals: Roanan Nelson, Guitar: Broden Rider, Guitar: Graeme Russell, Bass: Markus Zunich, Drums: Sam Finley
Wasted will have just played “Northwest Hardcore Fest” in Portland, their first out of town show, but will continue shaping their sound through live shows across the Treasure Valley. LLJZ.
