All Ages show!
TICKETS GO ON-SALE Friday, May 11th!

Reserved seating $45 (plus applicable service/handling fees)

Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter, actor, writer and political activist Steve Earle’s stamp on rock and country music is proof that pressing boundaries makes an impact. His words have guided the soundtrack to many of life’s moments the past 30 years. Sung by such artists as Carl Perkins, Patty Loveless and Johnny Lee, Steve Earle stirs the conversation in all his endeavors.

Steve Earle and his electric-live band, The Dukes are touring in support of I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive, a remarkable album and companion book.

Earle, often described as a master storyteller, has released 13 studio albums crossing several genres – including bluegrass, roots, rock, folk and country – since 1986’s Guitar Town. The album’s title track peaked at No. 7 on the US Country chart. He went on to release such hits as “Nowhere Road,” “Copperhead Road” and “The Other Kind.”

Rolling Stone magazine named Earle ‘Country Artist of the Year’ in 1986. He’s received three Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Folk Album for The Revolution Starts Now (2005), Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album for Washington Square Serenade (2008) and Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album for Townes.

Earle’s acting credits include HBOs The Wire and the feature film Leaves of Grass. He can currently be seen on HBOs hit series, Treme, as a street musician. His piece “This City” garnered an Emmy nod.

Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam who recently released his own album of ukulele songs had this to say about Jake: “Jake is taking the instrument to a place that I can’t see anybody else catching up with him.”

April 27, 2012 (Boise, ID) – Idaho Live proudly welcomes Jake Shimabukuro to the Egyptian Theatre in Boise, ID on Sunday, October 21st, 2012. Show starts at 8:00 p.m. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $27 in advance. $30 day of show.

“Forget everything you know about the ukulele…and go do a Google search. The first video that pops up won’t be some grainy clip of Tiny Tim or George Formby but a performance by a hair-gelled 34-year old Hawaiian named Jake Shimabukuro.” – Time magazine feature

It’s rare for a young musician to earn comparisons to the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. It’s even harder to find an artist who has entirely redefined an instrument by his early thirties. But Jake Shimabukuro (she-ma-boo-koo-row) has already accomplished these feats, and more, in a little over a decade of playing and recording music…on the ukulele.

Yes, the ukulele. In the hands of Shimabukuro, the traditional Hawaiian instrument of four strings and two octaves is stretched and molded into a complex and bold new musical force. On his most recent album ‘Peace Love Ukulele’ (which debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Album Chart), Jake and his “uke” effortlessly (it seems) mix jazz, rock, classical, traditional Hawaiian music, and folk, creating a sound that’s both technically masterful and emotionally powerful…and utterly unique in the music world. No less than the New York Times recently noted his “buoyant musicianship” and “brisk proficiency,” adding, “the innovation in his style stems from an embrace of restrictions: the ukulele has only four strings and a limited range. He compensates with an adaptable combination of rhythmic strumming, classical-style finger-picking and fretboard tapping.”
Energy, imagination, and innovation have been Jake’s keys to success. He plans to continue recording, performing, collaborating, and staying happy. “I love what I do. I’m forever thankful for music.”

BLOODSWORTH:

AN INNOCENT MAN
On Thursday, May 17th at 7pm
Gregory Bayne and Kirk Bloodsworth invite you to come hear Kirk’s engaging re-telling of his truly remarkable story of triumph over injustice, and to be part of the production of their feature documentary film, BLOODSWORTH: An Innocent Man.

Kirk Bloodsworth is the first death row inmate in the United States to be exonerated by DNA evidence. Sentenced to death in 1985 for a crime he did not commit, his remarkable story is the subject of the new documentary film, BLOODSWORTH: An Innocent Man, by Idaho filmmaker Gregory Bayne.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1651765/

Kirk is a natural storyteller with a keen ability to whisk you away into his world as he guides you through his life story, and this event is designed to provide him with the opportunity to do what he does best; tell his story to an audience. We want YOU to be in that audience.

The evening, which will be filmed by Gregory and crew, will provide the spine of the film as we unfold the facts of his case through both archival footage and animated sequences. It’s a crucial element in the production of our film, and a wonderful opportunity to be part of this homegrown endeavor.

Admission is free, but donations toward the film’s continued production are highly encouraged.

About Joe Ehrmann and the InSideOut Coaching Seminar:
Joe Ehrmann, the coach profiled in the national bestseller Season of Life, explains how coaches at every level, from Little League to high school to NCAA Division I and even the professional leagues, can use sports to transform lives.
Coaches have a tremendous platform, says Joe Ehrmann, a former Syracuse University All-American and NFL star. Perhaps second only to parents, coaches can impact young people as no one else can. But most coaches fail to do the teaching, mentoring, even life-saving intervention that their platform provides. Too many are transactional coaches; they focus solely on winning and meeting their personal needs. They see sports as a simple exchange: the athlete performs to a coach’s demands and in return gets something, usually praise or a position in the starting lineup. Some coaches, however, use their platform. They teach the Xs and Os, but also teach the Ys of life. They help young people grow into responsible adults; they leave a lasting legacy. These are the transformational coaches. These coaches change lives, and they also change society by helping to develop healthy men and women.
Children can be diminished and discouraged by their sports experiences, or they can be strengthened, uplifted, even in some cases redeemed. Sports can be a life-changing experience if coaches understand why they are coaching and redefine their measurement of success.
InSideOut Coaching explains how to become a transformational coach. Coaches first have to ‘go inside’ and articulate their reasons for coaching. Only those who have taken the InSideOut journey can become transformational. Joe Ehrmann provides examples of coaches in his life who took this journey and taught him how to find something bigger than himself in sports. He describes his own InSideOut experience, starting with the death of his beloved brother, which helped him understand how sports could transcend the playing field. He gives coaches the information and the tools they need to become transformational.
Who Should Attend? Coaches, Educators, Parents, Community Leaders, Youth Workers Joe Ehrmann has taken his message about the extraordinary power of sports all over the country. It has been warmly endorsed by NFL head coaches, athletic directors at major universities, high school head coaches, even business groups and community organizations. Now any parent-coach, or school or community coach can encounter Ehrmann’s message and learn how to make sports a life-changing experience.
