�I would pay any amount of money, just to hear a couple of good blues bands!� This a statement I have heard a 1000 times lately. So how about a whole afternoon of blues for TWO CANS OF FOOD. For 14 years the Boise Blues society has been hosting the annual picnic, for the last several years it has been in the Julia David park. Next to the zoo, close to the boat rentals. This years line up is one of the best ever.
Long time blues fans will remember Neighbor Dave. Dave Green is one of those unique talents, a solo act that just lights up the stage. Dave�s lyrical voice has the edge of a man who has literally been to deaths door and found his way back. His songs speak of the love of a father, the haunting howl of a blood hound on the trail and a famous pig named Ashley. I would not miss his return to the stage for �all the tea. . .� You should not either.
Although she has not been gone as long we all miss Lori B! and her boys as well. Yes, it is beginning to sound like a party. Did I mention Nampa stars Next Exit. Hey, I�m just getting started here. The Hoochie Coohie men will do a set and then back up Gorgeous George Stancell. We'll kick off this deal with the fresh faces of Short Side. This is a bunch of Boise High students with the BLUES. Below is the flyer. Mark your calendars, bring a friend or two. We'll be talking about this picnic for years and years.
