Thank you for visiting my website that exists to support and promote live, local music in the Treasure Valley of Idaho. Musicians give so much of themselves and this is my way of giving back.

You can read about my musical adventures by checking out my show reports.  These are the same posts I’ve made to Instagram starting in early 2024. Much to my surprise, it’s not possible to go to my Instagram profile and search for an artist I’ve written about. This site was built to help you find live music shows that are of interest to you. Search my 150+ show reports using the magnifying glass above. You can search for names, venues and any descriptive words you’re interested in.

To see where and when you can have live-music adventures of your own, check out my calendar.

I would love to see this site expand, perhaps including music festival information, interviews, live recordings, podcasts, news from the vibrant live-music scene, etc. Maybe even resources for musicians around booking, recording, promoting, etc. If you’re interested in collaborating, let me know.

I’m Paul the music lover in Nampa.  I have retired from a multi-career work life ranging from radio announcer to broadcast engineer to 800 tech support to Corporate IT. I’m currently on the tech team at my church. My wife and I moved here from the Portland area in the summer of 2023. We felt at home here in no time. Idaho is an amazing place with amazing people.
