Both of my kids have been attending Encore Creative Center since the beginning of the year, and we…read morecouldn't be happier with the experience. My daughter is currently taking piano and theater, and both classes have been wonderful. The theater program has really unlocked her love for performing, and her piano teacher has shown her how to be creative and truly enjoy making music. My son has taken part in the youth orchestra, where he plays the cello. The instructor is so passionate and makes sure each child has the chance to shine. He is also studying piano, and his teacher's thoughtful approach has helped him progress to more advanced pieces with confidence. Encore Creative Center offers such a warm and inspiring environment. The teachers really care about the students and make learning both fun and rewarding. We feel so grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to any family looking to nurture their child's love of music and the arts.

But he is also learning so much! The Hootenanies are a great way to connect music and community and to share a love of music with others. The scheduling and times available are so flexible. We can have a crazy schedule at times with two kids going to multiple activities. There are so many appointment times available and switching our time if something comes up is super easy! This is so essential for us. Plus there are zoom options! Couldn't recommend this place more!!

These guys are incredible performers! I've heard their name mentioned over the past few years and…read morehave seen them in passing at Boise events, but last night was the first time I was able to really watch them and enjoy their talent! My friends and I walked in to Humpin' Hannah's and heard, "You shook me all night long," being played from the back of the venue and made a bee-line for the dance floor. Their website says, "The Treasure Valley's high‐energy Top 40 variety band covers the best music from every genre and decade," and I'd say this description is pretty dang accurate! They aren't the kind of band that plays background music, this is the kind of band that grabs your attention and pulls you in to the fun! While my friends and I were dancing they covered music from Katy Perry to Kenny Loggins, ACDC, and Stealers Wheel. If you've got an itch to dance, belt out your favorite songs at the top of your lungs, and just have a fun time, then you need to see these guys perform! Check their Facebook page out to see when/where they are playing: https://www.facebook.com/pg/simpleruckus/events/?ref=page_internal.

From the owner: The Duck Club is a group of like-minded individuals based in Boise, Idaho working to build the…read morelocal music and art scene through concert promotion and community building. The Duck Club was founded as a partnership between Lori Shandro and Eric Gilbert, with help from Drew Lorona, as a means to help inject some fresh energy into the Boise music scene. Their initial collaboration was creating Treefort Music Fest in the Spring of 2012. Through that process, Megan Stoll joined the team as a full fledged partner. Since the launch of Treefort Music Fest, the vision has broadened into a permanent engine of live music curation, general promotion of the Boise music scene and a multi-faceted production company offering various means of support to emerging artists. Duck Club Touring is another wing of Duck Club with which we book tours for and represent emerging touring bands.

The rustle and bustle of sneaking and dodging past past the crowds in the entry way could have been managed more, but alas we finally found our seats and ready for the performance to begin. The Opera was much like a cross between a symphony and a musical and all around entertaining. The singers also doubled as actors and good ones at that! I really enjoyed the live symphony playing as well, very talented musicians! Can't wait to attend my next opera!
