Bobby Dee Keys was the guy to play Tuesdays on the Creek this week at Indian Creek Plaza. Bobby borrowed some players from local bands, and boy, did he strike gold as they played classic rock and country. As the storms came through, people simply crowded under the cover of the stage area and just kept dancing. Here’s a sample of some Bob Seger.

Camille Hugo is an old soul who describes herself as a vintage girl living in a modern world. She played Kindred Vineyards Monday afternoon, providing a lovely string of music mostly from the 50s and the 60s. If that’s your jam, you might enjoy her “Simpler Times Session” EP on Spotify, linked in her profile. Swipe a couple of times to hear a sample of a rain song on a sunny Memorial Day.

Mitch Sevy (see-VEE), a singer/songwriter who’s been at it for 30 years now, played the Crescent Brewery Sunday afternoon. Mitch did some covers of Bob Seger, Paul Simon, Keith Whitley, Alabama, Bob Dylan, Plain White T’s, Johnny Cash, and more. Fitting for the Memorial Day weekend, he did this original about a man going off to war.

Emily & the Tiptones performed at Talon Tap & Spirits Saturday evening. Emily’s Instagram profile promises free hugs for all. You will want to take her up on that. In their first set, they did what Emily described as her theme song about getting tired of being an adult. I’ve been feeling much the same way recently, so here’s a sample.

The Canyon Kids, made up of Bo Elledge and Dusty Nichols, played the Swirl Wine Shop & Lounge Friday evening. We heard a good variety of covers and originals from this duo, who been at it since 2012. The covers included music from The Wood Bros, Bahamas, Jimmy Buffett, Allman Bros, Green Day, Beach Boys, Beatles, and CSN&Y. “Indecision Ocean” is the original I captured for you.
Jordan Shaw writes and performs country music that pays respect to 90’s country themes, while infusing a contemporary influence. It was amazing watching him connect with his audience at The 122 in Nampa Thursday evening. Jordan can rockabilly with the best of them, but when he said he was going to do a song he wrote for his wife, whom he has not met yet, I knew immediately THAT was the song I wanted to share with y’all.

John Jones, a jazz guitarist and vocalist from Boise, played Indian Creek Winery Sunday afternoon. He performed mostly jazz standards along with music from Bill Withers, George Benson, The Crusaders, Diana Krall, James Taylor, Ray Charles, The Beatles, and The Eagles. Now, John is pretty old-school. You won’t find him on social media or even the web. You can reach out to him at his MSN email address below. :-) Even though it was out of season, I captured his version of Autumn Leaves.

Vibeka (vee-becca) is a “home grown Idaho tater tot” and singer/songwriter from Boise. Inspired by a recent trip to Nashville, she’s been writing like crazy, and spending time in the studio with her boys laying down some tracks. They should be trickling out in the next few months. As she played Rembrandt’s in Eagle Saturday evening, I captured “Boys in Boots”.
