The lineup of headliners for Alive After Five, Boise's free summer music series, is now ... live.
Highlights include Polecat on Wednesday, June 20, and Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears on Wednesday, July 11.
Random Canyon Growlers deserve props as the only local band headlining, as well.
There are still a few TBA slots at the end of the summer. We're keeping our fingers crossed for Van Halen, but would be glad to entertain other suggestions in the comment box below.

Whitey Morgan and the 78s from Flint, Mich., took the stage at Alive After Five last night with locals Matt Hopper and the Roman Candles warming up the crowd—not that the 95-degree heat didn't do that well enough, but at least we were all entertained while we worked on those pit stains.
Our BW photog was there snapping photos. Check out a slideshow of the festivities here.

AA5 Need Something To Do Wednesday?
Posted by Josh Gross on Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 7:00 AM
Never mind the Thursday morning meeting or the prospects of having to deal with Doris from accounting when you're hungover. For reasons only the urban planning overseers understand, Wednesday, not Friday or Saturday, is the best night to see live music in Boise.
And tonight, if you're so inclined, you have your choice of at least a dozen different musical consumption options all within a few blocks of one another.
Here are a couple choices to help you plan your attack.
In the free category, there's Alive After Five, featuring the country and bluegrass stylings of Jim Lauderdale and local Bill Coffey. At Pengilly's, you can catch a free set of heel-stomping Americana from Jonathan Warren and the Billy Goats. At Reef, it's cool jazz with Dr. Cool, and at The Gamekeeper, you can hear The Naughties, the self-proclaimed "best band in the world," tear through '80s and modern rock classics. There will also be a free blues performance from The David MacNeill Band at the Knitting Factory as part of the Boise Blues Society fan appreciation night, and a free reggae show at Liquid from Smooth Money Gesture.
But, hey, maybe you have a $10 bill you feel is cursed that you want to unload somewhere. If that's the case, head over to Neurolux and catch the sultry sounds of Girl in a Coma.
With all that live music happening in downtown tonight, you have no excuse to be bored.

Boise singer John Nemeth brought his award-winning blues back home at last night's Alive After Five. For those who remember the tuxedo-clad crooner heading up the Frim Fram Four at Pengilly's or the bar-top dancing antics of hepcats Fat John and the Three Slims back in the day, a Nemeth show is a rare treat these days. The singer now calls San Francisco home, but good luck catching him there—he spends most of his time on the road these days.
Check out the scene at last night's Alive After Five here.
