Easy Pickin's - Treasure Valley, ID
Easy Pickin’s is a new Idaho “bluegrass” band of old timers (as their gray hair and around 150 years of collective playing/performing experience would indicate) who still enjoy making music. The EP band currently is a trio (any banjo, dobro, or fiddle players out there are welcome to apply!) which includes Rick Lampkins (guitar), Mike Metteer (electric bass), and Rick Veeh (mandolin). The group members generally come from a bluegrass/country/swing background, but there’s certainly some blues and “folk” songs we’ve added to diversify our repertoire a bit. Needless to say, there is a strong vocal component to the band’s sound with due emphasis on 2- and 3-part harmonies. Most importantly, as the name applies, we ARE easy, but NOT cheap… however, we can be had!…in the vernacular, LOL!
Contacts: Rick Lampkins: (615) 788-5877 or Rick Veeh: (805) 674-4775

Highland Hillstomp - Boise, ID
Highland Hillstomp was born from a history with the Boise Contra Dance Society between Jason and Renee Homey. Jason grew up in BC Canada and has an extensive history of incredible Celtic music from Ireland, Scotland and Eastern Canada (Cape Breton Island). We identify with Celtic music, where Celtic music has a broad blanket cast over musical genres.
There is a great deal of overlap from the history of this music that is now played in the old-time and bluegrass circles.
Though we have a lot of high energy instrumentals, we also play vocally led melodies, rowdy pub tunes from the Irish Pub circuit and some originals that fit well in this context. This particular endeavor has been a passion project and we really hope you enjoy what we are so happy to share with you!

High Pine Whiskey Yell - Boise ID
Born out of a desperate need for craft beer, deep powder, plastic jug moonshine, fast-moving rivers, and a deep-seated fear that artificial intelligence will ruin hard-driving bluegrass... High Pine Whiskey Yell came together as a band in 2018. This four-piece group of modern-day rounders focuses on telling true stories about robots taking your job, banksters robbing from the poor, the trials of gold panning in Idaho, and a few other traditional bluegrass subjects (such as murder, drinking, and dogs).
Bringing experience from a multitude of projects, this Idaho string band is sure to win you over with its take on bluegrass and the Americana tradition. Although newly formed, its members have played in numerous bands and projects throughout the years incorporating those experiences into Idaho storytelling that is High Pine Whiskey Yell.
Scotty Tyler's fiddling playing is aggressive enough to land an Idaho brown trout, yet soothing enough pacify a wookie in a festival hammock. Tyler Schmidt's wielding of the mandolin is nothing short of broadsword-esque and captures the true essence of the mandolin's spirit animal (jaguar-rattlesnake). Brian Carrington guitar flat-picking could woo even the most elusive of sasquatches out of the woods. And Chad Lamer's upright bass playing... well let's just say they sometimes give him water, beer, and let him ride inside the truck.
With all that in mind... if you like having a damn good time... then High Pine Whiskey Yell is your new band!

Christy's rendition of CeeLo Green's "F*** You" on ukulele is up for Grammy nomination this year.

WestRock - Boise, ID

https://www.facebook.com/westrockmusic/
WestRock is a Red-dirt Americana band that is a blend of Cody Johnson, the Lumineers, and Bob Dylan. From classical to self-taught, the music of the group emanates from where we come from, and reflects the people and way of life we strive to embody. Earthy & full tones, lyrics that reflect or tell a story, and multi-part harmonies are all distinctives of the sound of West Rock. While the band is based out of Boise, our members come from Texas, California, and Minnesota, and as such we resonate with searching for a home, building and committing to a community, and appreciating today because tomorrow may change. Our mission as a band is to connect and serve those who need empathy in finding purpose. We don’t have all the answers, but we will walk the road together. |
