Every precaution that can be taken to make this a safe show was thought of by the Sapphire Room and Riverside Hotel. They have been coordinating with the Boise Blues Society to cover all the bases for social distancing to make the show as safe as possible. Please join us as we are so happy to be able to perform for you all at this beautiful venue. The show has been divided into two separate shows to create enough space between the tables to allow for safe social distancing separation”.
