    Jason Scott & The High Heat take the KiMo stage for Bands of Enchantment, a show whose name suggests something bigger than a single headliner, so expect either a multi-act...

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownhip-hopTickets

    Bravo The Bagchaser, the Sacramento rapper who built a following through raw street narratives and consistent independent releases, headlines the Nothing Given Tour at one of Central Avenue's better rooms for hip-hop sound.

    Nathan Fox takes the stage at Marble's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliable spots on the Central corridor for catching local and regional solo acts in a room that actually listens.

    Inside Out
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Five acts across a late-night satellite slot for Bands of Enchantment, the festival that tends to use Insideout as an overflow room when the main stages are packed. That satellite designation matters: this is the crowd that either couldn't get into the headliner or knew exactly what they were doing by skipping it, and the...

  • Built To Spill at El Rey Theater

    El Rey Theater
    DowntownindieTickets

    Built To Spill, the Boise outfit that helped define what overdriven, melodically obsessive indie rock could be in the '90s, plays El Rey with local singer-songwriter Paul Schalda opening. El Rey's long room and solid sound system suit this band well, since their live sets tend to stretch and wander in ways that reward a...
