The second annual Idaho-Down Jam State Festival is shaping up to be Idaho's largest sustainable outdoor music festival located at the beautiful Brundage Mountain Resort in McCall, Idaho.The festival will be a sustainable and interactive experience with continuous live music on two stages centered in a large natural amphitheater, curious vendors, interactive experiences, LED light show, late night shows, and camping on site including a kid's camp. The Idaho-Down is an effort to support our regional musicians and to help them build relationships with national artists, as well as bring increased tourism to Adams and Valley County. The infrastructure for the event will be sustainable and lessen the social, ecological, and economic impacts on our community.

*NEW NEWS!*

The Idaho-Down has been selected as a pilot project for the Council for Responsible Events Certification Program. Much like the US Green Building Council’s LEED Certification program we will attain credits for measures that we take in reducing our waste, lessening our impact on energy and climate, reducing our materials used, and community and outreach. Based on the credits The Idaho-Down will be certified, silver, gold, or platinum. In addition, we will be teaming up with the Idaho Wildlife Federation, launching their Idaho Matters Campaign having an educational booth, as well as a carbon offset project within the community. The projected carbon output for the event will be calculated, and trees will be planted in McCall and New Meadows to offset the impacts of the Idaho-Down on our community. The Idaho Wildlife Federation will also be the beneficiary for the event! In addition, Lake Shore Disposal will be hauling and donating a 20-yard recycling facility for our Recycling Program.

    Featuring Live Music from:

    Joseph Israel

    with Special Guest: Oren B
    “Mixing Rock, Jazz, and Folk to a Rockers Reggae Bass, Joseph Israel is a musician who knows the past with an eye on the future.” Relix Magazine Jan 2008 “Message Music delivered with the energy of youth and a Faith that eschews all boundaries.” Beat Magazine Vol.26, 2007 May 20th, 2008. The name, Israel, is a reflection that defines Joseph’s striving for the blessings of the Almighty YHWH (pronounced ‘Yahweh’). This is the name intended for all peoples, tribes and tongues that love the Most High and love their neighbor. These are the teachings of Rabbi Yahshua of Nazareth the Messiah. This is what he is a part of. We are all one family. Joseph is truly blessed to have been surrounded by a deep sense of appreciation for all cultures as a youth. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Joe and Jean Ann Fennel, Israel was exposed to the works and writings of history makers like Martin Luther King Jr. His father and Uncle were also huge fans of reggae music and traveled often to Jamaica.

    Equaleyes

    "Classifying this band seems difficult at best. They are a little bit of rock, sauteed in a little bit of country, garnished with funk with sprinkles of pop!"- The Clarion-Denver, CO. "From the first few notes, it becomes obvious that this band knows what they're doing on stage. One song flowed smoothly into the next, stirring up great enthusiasm in the audience." Formed as a power trio in early 2006, Equaleyes began touring through Idaho, Utah & Colorado with a blend of rock, pop, funk & bluegrass. They believe in using the power of music to enhance the quality of life in communities across the globe.

    Yamn

    Yamn is a four-piece, high-energy, smooth sonic explosion. “They are masters of the modern day craft of progressive-electro-trance-fusion, executed with Colorado Jam Rock enthusiasm” (Tonglen). In 2007 Yamn’s members joined together in Breckenridge, Colorado. Soon after the guys hit the road to do what they are most passionate about, play live shows and create an atmosphere for concert-goers exuding freedom and creativity.

    Holden Young Trio

    Holden Young went to Berklee College of Music after growing up in rural Maine.  His knowledge of music was limited but his ambition was tenfold that of most his peers.  Because he began so green, Berklee became a full 4-year schooling in all aspects of music.  His focus became world music (especially Afro-beat, Reggae, Brazilian, and Eastern Indian music) and guitar performance. "While Fela Kuti tops the list of Young’s songwriting influences, you’re more likely to hear the grooves of James Brown, John McLaughlin and extended improvisations of the contemporary jam scene, reminding me of The Disco Biscuits with less synth electronica. These three players have grown tight from consistent touring through the West and Northwest." ~Davis, Jackson Planet

    The Shook Twins

    Identical twin sisters Katelyn and Laurie Shook have been singing together since the womb. Their band, “Shook Twins”, is a unique blend of banjo, guitar, djembes, tambourines, whistles, and wah wah pedals. Combined with chilling vocal harmonies, beatboxing and looping, the sisters are able to fill the stage with an organic progressive folk sound that has been moving audiences since 2005.

    Voice of Reason

    Roots, Reggea, Rock!
    While in 8750 we shared stage with many more such as Bunny Wailer, Ziggy Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Joseph Hill (Culture), Steel Pulse, Don Carlos (Black Uhuru), Clinton Fearon (The Gladiators), Lucky Dube, James Brown, The Itals, Justin Hinds, Toots and the Maytals, Andrew Tosh, Timbuk 3, Stephen Stills, etc.

    Candread & Rizing Rezistance

    Candread and RiZing ReZistance is a Roots Reggae/World Beat Band, based in Boise, Idaho. Candread Gadaga, the lead singer and songwriter, was born in Mozambique. His songs are multi-lingual pleas for the end of oppression everywhere, and other important subjects, such as Love. One of his goals in playing music is to help the destitute women and children in Mozambique, and be a voice for the down-trodden everywhere. There is also much joy in his songs, displaying the strength of rising above the world’s problems, and rejoicing in life.

    Jonathan Warren
    The Billygoats

    Progressive PsychoBilly Folk Grass. What is it? It's a goat chewing on a can, it's a cat scratching at your door, its foot stomping music that makes you want to drink a beer and eat a biscuit. It's music that makes you jump up and down, and wake up humming in the morning. It's tunes that stick in your bones like peach cobbler. It's new timey, post retro, pre apocolyptic, south appalachian, gypsy folk rock.

    Gizzard Stone

    Their style is a direct reflection of the band's diverse musical interest. This band can polka, jazz it up, rock it out, and then play a bluegrass tune, and have been known to do it all to the same song, just for a laugh and a challenge. By far, their most marketable quality is they simply enjoy what they do, and it shows. And the fun that Gizzard Stone has on stage, translates back to the audience.

    AlpenFlow

    Blending styles from all over the musical pallate comes Alpenflow......a sonic experience that bridges the gap between time and space as well as sight and soundFormed in 2009, Alpenflow is a high-energy collective that ranges from Live Electronics, Fusion House, IDM to Jam-Rock without missing a step....or beat. Drawing inspiration from such contemporaries as EOTO, STS9, Zilla, Lotus and Phish, Alpenflow will keep you moving and grooving all night long.

    Corn Mash

    Corn Mash is the Moscow, ID based project of singer/songwriter Bill LaVoie. Originally formed in Seattle in 2003, the band has undergone several makeovers and enjoyed success for several years based out of wild Missoula, MT. The music is a mix of mostly original rock, swing, blues, country, punk, funk, and bluegrass. But even though all music is fun to play, there's nothing quite like rock with rippin' ho downs in the mix. Tight, loose, and loud. Sweet. Subject matter? Cynical, glorious, angry, sweet, dirty, absurd…….basically, it’s diverse music for the brain and the booty with live shows heavily geared towards the booty.

    Miller Creek

    Miller Creek is Missoula, Montana’s musical sensation, continually packing every venue they play with their unique blend of rock, jam, electronic, and a bit of down home country. The band has toured extensively over the past few years developing a following and consistently drawing large crowds regardless of where they perform throughout the northwest. Miller Creek thrives on spontaneity and inspires electric excitement and elation. The band prides itself on producing a unique performance each and every show. Their vast musical repertoire is dynamic and ever expanding.

    Prairie Sky Pilots

    The Prairie Sky Pilots started out as The Cosmic Family Band in 2007, playing weekly at Terrapin Station in Boise, Idaho performing classic Grateful Dead and other jamband covers. In 2009 the band began playing other venues and festivals throughout the region, performing at the Eagle Island Experience Festival and the Idaho-Down in McCall, Idaho. With a growing local and regional fan base, the Prarie Sky Pilots has expanded its repertoire to mostly original music that draws from a palate of influences that includes funk, reggae, bluegrass and progressive improvisational rock.

    Soul Serene

    Soul Serene is a Rock/Pop/Reggae Band that hails from Boise, ID. The original music of Soul Serene is energetic and explosive, yet smooth and sometimes psychedelic. The music is influenced by the likes of The Beatles, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan. Soul Serene sounds like Sublime, Dispatch, Pearl Jam and the Stone Temple Pilots. The band loves to throw a few familiar covers into the mix also; sometimes playing them in a traditional style and sometimes Soul Serene adds a fresh new twist.

    Jupiter Holiday

    Jupiter Holiday is a Boise Collective of eclectic musicians who are looking to create dancable music free from the boundries of genre for audiences of all types. Jupiter Holiday has shared the stage with great musicians including New Monsoon, Great American Taxi, Free Peoples, Frame Of Mind, And many of Boise's talented musicians and bands including Jeramiah James and FarmDog. JH is always at work in the studio writing, rehearsing, and growing. Venture to a live show and they will treat your 6 senses to heart felt, intensely grooving, psychedelic, funkadelic, honky-tonk improvisation!

    The Goatheads

    Polywog, singing, yodeling, kazoo, guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, and voted most likely to throw up in the parking lot; Aaron, singing, rapping, guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, and overall ladies man. Benny Blanko, fiddle, bass, harmonica, banjo, backup singing, bellalaicka, mandolin (we aint no bluegrass band ok?!! started a bar rock band - for the money - yeah, wer're poor, give us a gig that pays and we'll play our hearts out for all the fine folks and rock the joint... all night long) fire starter, pork on a stick cooker.
