The annual Winter Blues Weekend\u00a0<\/b>at the Sapphire Room<\/a>\u00a0and presented by the Boise Blues Society<\/a>, will provide three big days of great blues music. The events take place on January 10-12, 2019. Topping it off will be the Sunday Blues Brunch at the Sapphire Room on January 13. This is a marvelous way to see the top blues bands from throughout the Treasure Valley. Dave Light, President of the Boise Blues Society, said,\u00a0\u201c<\/span><\/span>The blues music genre originated with the slaves in the Mississippi Delta. The Boise Blues Society is dedicated to keeping the blues alive by teaching the blues in area schools and promoting blues music in the local communities.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Headlining on Thursday night, January 10, the Gary Tackett Band will start the Winter Blues Weekend at the Sapphire Room off the right way. Singer, songwriter, producer and guitarist, Gary has played many places, including the Oakland Coliseum, the Grand Ol’ Opry in Nashville and of course the Sapphire Room and Sandbar at the Riverside Hotel. He’s been the guitarist for such topflight musicians as Merle Haggard and Vern Gosdin. He brings original roadhouse blues to the stage with a hard driving energy that’s sure to have you up on your feet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Brooke Nicole featuring Jake Leg Band has been drawing fans for several years to their gigs on the Treasure Valley. Led by the amazing Brooke Nicole, who can go from blues rock to ballads and keeps the audience enthralled with her dynamic stage presence; and Dale Wilson, harmonica player extraordinaire, their mix of covers and original tunes is sure to please everyone.<\/p>\n

The BBQ Blues Band is led by Leif Skyving, one of the top harmonica players in the Treasure Valley. BBQ (short for Boss Blues Quartet) is a new band in town, led by the veteran harp player who is also a marvelous stand-up comic. Leif said, \u201cThe Boss Blues Quartet, aka BBQ plays nothing but hard-hitting post WW2 electrified Chicago blues; and we are primed to kick off the Winter Blues Weekend\u201d. BBQ should give everyone a taste of why Chicago is famous for it’s blues music and producing so many legendary writers and performers.<\/p>\n

Saturday night, January 12, the Blues Addicts will power the night’s festivities. Featuring music by the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton and other great blues rock tunes, they bring a full band including horns to the Sapphire Room stage to cap the evening. SUDA is a group that shows the future of the blues is bright in the Boise area. Zach Quintana, Thomas Wilson and Nobel Holt are three \u201cyoung guns\u201d who can play with the best of them. Close your eyes and you’ll have no idea they’re all under 18 years old.<\/p>\n

Whether he's looking for the best ceviche in Colombia, the best poke in Hawaii, the best tequila in Jalisco or the best Taiwanese Beef Roll in Los Angeles and Banh Mi in Ho Chi Minh City; it's all good food! He also loves a good drink. He's had Mai Tais in Hawaii, Bourbon in Kentucky, Tequila in Mexico and Rum in Jamaica. His wine escapades have taken him to Napa, Sonoma, the Willamette Valley and Idaho's Sunnyslope wine Trail. And he's had beer all over the world! Music is another of Ed's passions, writing and interviewing many classic rock, rock and blues musicians. Getting the great stories of road experiences from them is a particular delight. Traveling also fits in with Ed's writing, exploring all over to find the most interesting places to visit, even in out of the way areas. Ed lives in Boise and is searching for the best finger steaks in town.","url":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/author\/edsails\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3331"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3353,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3331\/revisions\/3353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
