We're turning up the heat again this year with the return of the awesome Jagermeister Stage, and we are putting some all new entertainment on it! Friday night kicks off with the Blues Addicts, who will play from about 7 to 9pm.
The Blues Addicts are not your typical blues band. Now in their 4th year of playing in the Boise area, they have developed a very fun playlist culled from a wide variety of songs made popular by their musical heroes including: Eric Clapton, Derek & the Dominos, the Allman Brothers, Dire Straits, JJ Cale, Muddy Waters, and Traffic are just a few examples of the artists that they draw inspiration from. Their joy comes from playing these songs to an enthusiastic audience who loves this kind of music as much as they do. We are proud to announce that the Blues Addicts won the "People's Choice Award" at the 2010 Boise Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival. Blues Addicts on Facebook | Blues Addicts Home Page
Half the World
They will be followed by our only returning band this year, Half the World, who will be on stage from about 9:30 until around 11:30.
Hailing from Holland, lead singer Mary Magill - with her striking visual presence and commanding, world-class voice - is Half the World's onstage focal point. The rhythm section is comprised of Mat Hansen on bass and Pete Weaver on drums and backup vocals (Pete also produces and engineers for the band). Sean Thompson and Brett Pedersen's incandescent, razor-edged guitars generate the fure that electrifies this monumental wall of sound. This very popular band, based out of Boise, Idaho, will appeal to fans of Breaking Benjamin, Evanescence, Three Days Grace, Paramore, Chevelle, Seether, Sevendust, and the Foo Fighters.

Saturday night's lineup is led by popular Boise Beatles cover band, Come Together, followed by another local cover band called Dutchess Down the Well.
Come Together has the Beetles sound down pat. If you like the Beetles (and who doesn't?) then you will like these guys! They will take the stage on Saturday night at about 7 and play for 2 hours, taking you back to the 1960's when some of the greatest music of all time was written.

Dutchess Down the Well plays a wide variety of stuff that includes the likes of the Beetles, Sublime, the Roots, David Bowie, Modest Mouse, Iration, Lit, Blur, Led Zepplin, Outkast, Bob Marley, and many more. They will cap a great ending on Saturday night to our 2011 Big Nasty Music on the Jagermeister Stage.
