Boise Music Week

I got to take in a couple of the concerts for this annual Boise event. Caught the Saturday afternoon concert at the Band Shell with folk groups, jazz groups, dancers and the like. There was also a children's lantern parade (still in broad daylight but nice...).

Rode my bike to Bar Guernika, afterwards, for their Saturday Beef Tongue and some beer.

The next night I was at the Cathedral of the Rockies for the Church Night performance. Having never been, I was taken in by COTR's architecture. It was dazzling for a guy raised Mormon (while many are perfectly nice people, they don't design the most amazing-looking churches). The musical make up was pretty Methodist, Episcopalian, and I think there were some Presbyterian groups in there as well. But there were great choirs, under direction of James Jirak and others, bell ringers and some awesome organists and violin players.

I like music. I like my town when the weather is getting nicer and I can ride my bike wherever I like and catch a free show.

Take care!
