Boise's Summer Concert Series

Idaho Botanical Gardens has announced 3 of their concerts this summer: Sheryl Crow, The Moody Blues, and Ray LaMontagne w/Brandi Carlile. Everyone knows that. What we don't know is the stress in the eyes of the office workers every time anyone asks them who else is coming...

You don't get to see that unless you go there and look at their faces and physically and deliberately mouth the words..."who else is coming?". I like to do it about once a week at the very least. The truth is that every rumor that creeps out is based on truth, the problem is the competition.

Every time a promoter such as the Knitting Factory identifies a plausible tour, they now have competition from a number of other promoters. The days of submitting a bid and receiving a contract back are over and the bidding has begun. Tight lips are the product. There have been several almost's only to be outbid by a competitor and the concert lost. Boise fans win with quality of shows coming, but may start feeling it more where it hurts.

Stay tuned as we are not afraid to post the rumors on our quest to be at the big shows, produce pixx for your pleasure, and write what you could have seen had you just gone to the show. Promote Boise entertainment and recreation in this unique part of the world is our goal...so if you're local, you will know where you should have been, and if you're visiting you will know where to go and how to get there...
