Boot Juice
BOOT JUICE is a six-piece high-energy rock ‘n’ roll / Americana act from Northern California, notorious for their barn-burning live shows that get entire crowds on their feet dancing: a reputation earned from recent performances at legendary venues like The Fillmore and Dillon Amphitheater, festival sets at Treefort, High Sierra, and Golden Road Gathering, and packed club shows all across America during their many years on the road.
The group’s fervently-anticipated fourth album, Keeping Out Of The Ground, exemplifies the tradition of kickass eclectic American rock ‘n’ roll: With three vocalists, dueling acoustic and electric-guitar shredding, a bawdy horn section, and driving, soulful rhythms, the album offers everything from groovy, danceable bangers (“Hard Time for Hard Times”, “Slingshot”, “Struggles”) to heavy, show-stopping rock anthems (“Try Again Tomorrow”, “Rise and Shine”, “Boise”), and tender, swinging ballads (“Anywhere With You”, “Love From Here”, “Keeping Out of the Ground”). Throughout it all, the band sends a poignant message: Despite everything going on in the world and the hopelessness creeping in around us, the best thing we can do is push it through, keep ourselves out of the ground, keep showing up for ourselves and our neighbors, and forgive ourselves when we just need to try again tomorrow.
McKenna Esteb
McKenna Esteb, a rising talent in Boise's music scene, showcases an eclectic style ranging from ballads to feminist anthems, love songs, retro soul, to cry in the shower sort of music. Her evolving full band currently is exploring the indie pop and rock world, while her intimate solo shows highlight her commanding voice and piano skills. Beyond a musician, Esteb is a songwriter and storyteller, aiming to create a space for vulnerability and a spectrum of all emotions to be embraced.
