music / Tickets Tickets on Sale: The Decemberists and Typhoon, IBG, July 20
Posted by Tara Morgan on Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 2:00 PM
Indie folk balladeers The Decemberists have announced they’re bringing their peculiar brand of accordion-splashed Melvillean lit-pop to the Idaho Botanical Garden on Wednesday, July 20, as part of the 2011 Outlaw Field Summer Concert Series.
Lead singer Colin Meloy is known for nasally delivery and lyrically epic songs. "The Mariner's Revenge Song" includes the line, “One night I overheard / the Prior exchanging words / with a penitent whaler from the sea / the captain of his ship / who matched you toe to tip / was known for wanton cruelty.” However, the band moved in a folksier direction with their new album, The King is Dead (Capitol Records).
The Decemberists will be joined by Portland, Ore.’s comparably grandiloquent Typhoon, an indie-pop 10-piece with two drummers, a sousaphone, a trumpet, bells, whistles and lots of handclaps.
Tickets for the show go on sale on Friday, April 22, at 10 a.m. Tickets are available by phone at 1-877-435-9849, at the IBG box office and online at ticketfly.com or bo.knittingfactory.com.

Posted by Amy Atkins on Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 2:02 PM
February has brought us unusually seasonable sunny days and unfortunately copious amounts of wind, freezing temps and graupel (a word that sounds made up but that means "snow pellets or soft hail"). While you're inside hiding from the hateful skies, you might want to get online and order tickets for some terrific upcoming concerts.
His gift is song, and he is ready to give it to you on Saturday, April 9, at the Taco Bell Arena. That’s right, English songwriter and international icon Elton John will perform in Boise, turning us all into "Tiny Dancers." Tickets are $29 to $129 on sale now.
Iron & Wine's beardy Sam Beam will shuffle into the Knitting Factory on Monday, May 30, on the heels of his lovely new release, Kiss Each Other Clean. Tickets are $26 general and go on sale Friday, March 4, at 10 a.m.
Sheryl Crow will join the lauded list of Outlaw Field Summer Concert Series performers this summer when she performs at Idaho Botanical Garden on Thursday, May 19. Tickets are $50 general and go on sale Friday, March 4, at 10 a.m.

What the shows will also bring are two highly acclaimed visitors: Grammy award-winning conductor JoAnn Falletta guest conducting and violin virtuoso Michael Ludwig performing. It would be a shame to miss the show, but times are tough and a $75 ticket may be more than your beleaguered wallet can handle.
So what if we told you tickets for "Enigma Variations" are on sale online until midnight tonight?
Visit Boise Philharmonic's website to buy your tickets, and when you get to the checkout, enter promo code 0226 for a 40 percent discount. Instead of $23-$43 for Friday's show at Swayne Auditorium, you'll pay $13.80-$25.80. For Saturday's show at the Morrison Center, you'll pay as little as $14.40 and only as much as $45.

Arts / Tickets Tickets On Sale: Wicked, Friday, March 4
Posted by James Ady on Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 12:00 PM
Forget the learned, sympathetic tendencies toward Dorothy and her little dog and open your mind up to the other side of the yellow brick road in the Broadway blockbuster Wicked.
The Morrison Center for the Performing Arts is expecting tickets, which go on sale Friday, March 4, at 10 a.m., to sell out in record time.
With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, Wicked tells the back story of how the once friendly witches of Oz came to be, before young Dorothy flew onto the scene. One is green skinned, fiery and misunderstood, whereas the other is beautiful, ambitious and popular.
The Morrison Center is suggesting that people interested in purchasing tickets for Wicked do so from the Morrison Center Box Office, which is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., from any Select-a-Seat outlet, online at idahotickets.com or by phone at 208-426-1110 or 208-426-1494.
For more information about Wicked, visitwickedthemusical.com
Wicked runs May 4-15. Show times and ticket prices vary.

"California Gurl" Katy Perry will play the Taco Bell Arena on Saturday, July 23, as part of her California Dreams 2011 Tour. Robyn will open for her.

Be careful watching the video: the song is as addictive as a bag of gummy bears.

Posted by Josh Gross on Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 11:17 AM
About 200 people crammed into The Bouquet to see MarchFourth Marching Band in August 2010, but that means that around 205,114 of le Boisiesie missed out on what was easily the strangest, funnest, sweatiest dance party of the summer.
But lucky for those who weren't at the show, MarchFourth will be bringing their savage percussion, wacky costumes and atomic stage presence back to The Bouquet on Saturday, Feb. 19.
Tickets go sale today. They're $17 advance at the Egyptian Box Office, Record Exchange and the Boise Co-Op, or online at egyptiantheatre.net.
