A
GARDEN CONCERT

You Don't Want to Miss!

Date: Tuesday, July 10
Place: Backyard Garden of Gary & Dorothy Shue  at 7304 McMullen, Boise
Music: 7:30 - 9:30     seating starts at 7:00


The Family Carr mightily entertains listeners with gems of Galician/Spanish, Irish, French Canadian and Appalachian vocal and instrumental music played on  an array of fiddles, bagpipes, mandolins, accordions and keyboards.


The Family Carr consists of Kevin Carr and Josie Mendelsohn, veterans of Bluegrass, Irish, Quebecois, and other musical genres, along with their children, Daniel and Molly, home after extended travels in Spain, Ireland, Cuba, Canada and South America. Together they string together tunes and songs gleaned from their adventures and presented with love and loads of family mojo. Between them they play fiddle, mandolin, Irish and Galician bagpipes, guitar, accordion, banjo and keyboards, making music both sweet and strong.

June 2012 SQUARE DANCE!

This will be the last dance before the summer break~

So come and kick up your heels before it starts back up in September

The monthly Hokum Hoedown square dance and old-timey music series continues at 7 p.m. Friday, June 1, at the Linen Building, 1402 W. Grove St. in Downtown Boise’s Linen District. $5 per person, $15 per family. All ages, full bar (I.D. required), Pie Hole pizza. Plenty of free, off-street parking is available at the Linen Building.

NOTE: This will be the last square dance until the series resumes Sept. 7. There will be no square dances in July or August.

The popular Hokum Hoedown is a modern take on the old-time hootenanny featuring the infectious swing of the Hokum Hi-Flyers acoustic string band.

At each Hoedown (first Friday of every month), the Hokum boys perform a diverse assortment of traditional folk-dance and string-band tunes while a cast of colorful callers directs the dances.

In addition to square dancing, the Hokum Hoedown features some good old-fashioned, swingin’, two-steppin’ western dancing. Young and old, couples and families, tattooed hipsters and ten-gallon cowboys ... the Hokum Hoedown is a come-as-you-are, hand-clappin’ hootenanny for all.

ABOUT HOKUM HI-FLYERS: We play Appalachian old-time mountain music, as well as other forms of unplugged 1920s/30s American roots music (Cajun, swing, traditional country). Our high-energy fiddle tunes will get you on your feet and hollerin' at the rafters. We serve up Hokum and we serve it hot!

Jonah Shue: fiddle, guitar, mandolin, vocals
Scott Knickerbocker: banjo, guitar, vocals
