Reports about live shows.

Dustin Morris

Dustin Morris is a long-time singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and touring artist, who has been making Soulful Indie-Folk with eccentric elements for 20+ years. He spent a few hours Sunday afternoon at the picturesque Kindred Vineyards at Caldwell. With some covers mixed in, Dustin did a show of mostly original music, including “Some Kind of Magic” the title track of his upcoming album.

Girl in the Garden

Girl in the Garden is the project of Kate Plaisted, an Eagle, Idaho girl who was recently graduated from the prestigious University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. She played an interesting mix of covers and originals Saturday evening at The 112 in Nampa. Her covers included music from Stephen Sanchez, Stevie Nicks, Guns N’ Roses, Bill Withers, Zack Bryan, and Leonard Cohen. Here is “Montana”, the first Country song she wrote.

Buddy DeVore and Rob Matson

Buddy DeVore and Rob Matson of The Faded Cowboys played their western honky tonk music at Swirl Wine Shop and Lounge Saturday evening. We heard mostly covers from folks like Johnny Paycheck, Waylon Jennings, Marty Robbins, George Strait, Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard, and others. Here is one of the originals they sprinkled in called “Mountain scenery”, about Buddy being one of the luckiest men alive.

Honey Trail

Honey Trail is a Folk-Rock/Americana Duo made up of Brandon Lyons and Bregeen McClure. They played mostly original music at Barbarian Brewing in Garden City Thursday evening. He’s from upstate NY and she’s 100% Idaho, making music together for two years now. If you’re taking a road trip this summer, just load their music up and you’ll be there before you know it. “Settle Down” is a good example of their high-energy Americana style.

Joseph Lyle

Joseph Lyle, a deeply-felt guitarist, vocalist, and creative, has touched the hearts of Boiseans with acoustic brilliance over the past decade. I was mesmerized watching him layer together some gorgeous instrumentals at Maddie’s Wine & Whiskey Wednesday evening. Instead of capturing an original (which is what I try to do) I decided to go with this some familiar Buffalo Springfield so you can appreciate Joseph’s style as applied to this classic.
