The Mighty Red Melons are thrilled to perform a private event during The 2020 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Since its beginnings in the late 1990s, the Hot Club of Cowtowns star has continued to rise as its reputation for jaw-dropping virtuosity and unforgettable live shows has become the bands global brand. Lauded for its down-home melodies and exuberant improvisation (The Times, London), the Hot Club has always woven a combination of seemingly disparate styles together to its own magical effect, setting up camp at that crossroads where country meets jazz and chases the blues away (The Independent), remaining conscious always that above all else, the music is for dancing and an old-fashioned good time (New York Times). The bands musical alchemy has been described as another breathless journey in the Texas tardis (The Times, London), while American Songwriter observed that the excellent three players of this band could be doing anything but have chosen to honor the greats of jazz and swing with their sound. The Belfast Telegraph calls the Hot Club of Cowtown a pretty much perfect country trio at the very top of their game, and the New York Times, in a live review the trio as armed with an arsenal full of technique and joy.

With the passing of legendary singer-songwriter John Prine, The Record Exchange is hosting a virtual tribute concert at 1pm Sunday, April 19, here on our Facebook page.

Starting at 1pm on the 19th, we will post videos of Idaho musicians performing Prine songs from their homes. We will include virtual tip jar/donation links for the musicians in the hopes that you will help us put a few bucks in their pockets while the stay-at-home order prohibits them from earning regular income as live performers.

I participated in a wonderful John Prine Tribute last week put on by Boise’s Record Exchange. It made me think about so many of John’s songs that I’ve loved and sung over the years. So…I thought it would be nice if I shared more of his incredible music with all of you this Thursday night at 7:30pm MST right here on Facebook Live. John, along with his buddy, Steve Goodman, were so instrumental in my music during the 1970’s and it just feels right to honor John (and Steve too) in my own way. I hope you can tune in and, if you’d like, feel free to send me a request and I’ll do my best to play it. See you this Thursday night!

Come on out the the Sandbar and enjoy the patio, the weather and some great country music! See you there!
