Tuesdays on the Creek is a 20-week concert series that runs from May 20 to September 30 this year. From 6 to 9PM on Tuesdays, you can enjoy free concerts at the Indian Creek Plaza in Caldwell. The series is presented by Destination Caldwell and the City of Caldwell.
Here is the lineup this year!!
Jerry Nelson, a 50-year old trucker and singer/songwriter, played a few hours of Country and Folk Music Friday evening at Crescent Brewery in Nampa. Jerry, from Caldwell, writes songs about people he’s met, places he’s been, and things he’s done. Here’s an original called “My Cowboy”
Buckin’ Country, performing Country Western music mixed with a little classic rock, played the Nampa Eagles Lodge on Saturday the 19th. You can catch them at local bar and rodeos, anywhere you need to get the party started. Here’s a little Johnny Lee.
Dry Buck is a Treasure Valley Bluegrass band. They played a lovely Sunday afternoon on April 13th at Indian Creek Winery in Kuna. This outdoor venue is my favorite place to sit in my lawn chair and enjoy some music. Check out Bill Monroe’s “Memories of You”.
Katie Garonzik and Jim Kloss played mostly jazz standards on Saturday, April 12 at Rembrandt’s Restaurant in Eagle. Katie is a Boise native with was raised in a musical family. Her band (The Half Maccs) also plays around the area, and I hope to catch them soon.
Gerimaya Whyte, the one man live looping band, played Friday evening at Broadway on the Rocks, inside the Albertsons in Boise. I love watching loopers layer songs together, one “instrument” at a time. I put “instrument” in quotes because many of them are generated by something completely different, especially percussion. Here’s a Prince classic I captured.
Bobby Dee keys (from Rock DEE House Entertainment) along with his drummer Jesse, played to a small but lively group Wednesday evening at Las Calaveras Restaurant in Meridian. Bobby loves to play requests and lead off the evening with mine (Saturday in the Park). Here he does another outdoor song you’ll no doubt recognize.
Nathan Board played a solo show Saturday evening at Mesquite Creek Outfitters in Caldwell. His music is a bit off the beaten path, as they say, playing music done by Townes Van Zandt, Post Malone, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Jeff Crosby, Pinto Bennett, Famous Motel Cowboys, Marty Robbins, and this one from The Eagles.
The Scott Knickerbocker Band played an evening of traditional and original music Thursday evening at Boise Brewing in downtown Boise. In addition to Bluegrass and classic Country music, Scott and company played this song written on the banks of the Salmon River in Stanley called Hello Red Fox.
Hecktor Pecktor, the alter ego of Boise singer/songwriter Brian Peck, played a solo show at Kerry Hill Winery Sunday afternoon. After hearing covers from the likes of Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, Brian did “Steady At My Side“, a song written for his wife.
