Limited Edition, Boise’s premier party band that plays all of your favorite hits, lit up Player’s Pub & Grill inside Westy’s Friday night. They promise to make any event unforgettable, and they delivered. If you’re into the club scene, Player’s Pub & Limited Edition is the perfect combination.
The Tim Swanson Trio (Timothy Swanson on guitar, David Atwood on sax, and son Brandon Atwood on percussion) played an evening of covers at Las Calaveras Restaurant in Meridian Wednesday. Along the way, we heard music from Elvis Presley, Beatles, Glen Frey, Queen, Eagles, George Benson, Hall & Oates, Van Morrison, and this Gerry Rafferty classic.
Kiri, a Boise singer/songwriter, played a program of mostly covers Saturday afternoon at Indian Creek Winery in Kuna. She does Billie Eilish songs especially well. “Final Goodbye” is an original.
Two-thirds of Rochelle & The James Gang (Rochelle Gabiola Harris
and her father James) played an evening of familiar (and beautifully done) covers Friday evening at Swirl Wine Shop & Lounge. I couldn’t imagine this Procol Harum classic without an organ, but I loved it!
The Billy Blues Band, playing Rock, Soul and contemporary Blues, fulled Maddie’s Wine & Whiskey in Meridian with their tight grooves Thursday evening. This band has been around for 7 years, and it shows with how easy they make it look.
Cliff Miller, hailing from Horseshoe Bend, played a mix of country and pop at Mesquite Creek Outfitters on Saturday. Along the way, he played this new song called “Separated ‘Till Spring”.
One half of Kat Rodeo (Greg Hall & Amy Brown) played an evening of music Thursday night at Mesquite Creek Outfitters in Caldwell. The music was all over the board making for an entertaining evening. Here’s a song from Heart.
Joseph Valencia, who lasted played Mesquite Creek Outfitters in Caldwell about a year ago, returned Friday evening. He played mostly Country, Folk and Americana covers, and this original written for his fiance.
May Crow is a Treasure Valley singer/songwriter who is not afraid to speak her mind on stage. I’ve always wanted to visit Wylie Records in Garden City, so May’s Saturday evening show was my excuse. She played an interesting mix of covers and originals, but when she suggested she was about to play her potential favorite original, I knew it was time to get the phone out. The tasty number is “Something To Eat”.
Jen & Johnny, the Treasure Valley father/daughter indie/folk/Americana duo, performed an evening of music at the Brown Beard Taproom in Garden City on Friday. What I love about this duo is in two sets of music, I only knew ONE song. They pull in a lot of stuff from left field, and it’s all worth hearing. Here is one of Johnny’s originals.
