Dances and Sessions, Death and the Domino Effect

It’s shaping up to be a busy month! In six days from now I’ll be joining Bernie Reilly, Jason and Renee Homey, and Beth Mason in the Second Chance Band once again to play for the Second Chance Square Dance at the Linen Building! That’s Friday the 20th, doors open at 7:00. I can’t wait to see all you fancy dancers there!

The Ha’Penny sessions will be kicking into full swing on September the 22nd and all your favorite local Irish musicians are going to be there! As always, musicians are welcome to bring their instruments and join the session. If you haven’t been to a session at the Ha’Penny yet, go ahead and google “Ha’Penny Groupons” for a little extra incentive (or click on the link provided for as long as it’s available). There are often coupons for 50% off their delicious food — you won’t regret it!

On a more sobering note, the Giant Leprechauns will be playing at the Domino Effect Benefit and Silent Auction on Thursday the 26th to help support the wife and family of Taylor Wood. Taylor died in a tragic swimming accident just a month after his marriage. He was a compassionate and generous man who inspired goodness and joy in everyone he met. You can read more about him in his obituary, here: Taylor Wood, 1989 – 2013. Proceeds from this event will go towards helping the family with the costs of his passing. The event will be held at Rocci Johnson’s establishment in downtown Boise; please view her Facebook Event for more information.

The RDNaturally Calendar is all up to date for September in case you don’t want to remember all these random dates. There’s great music all around Boise this month, so get out there and make the most of these remaining warm days!

Slow down, it’s a hoedown!


Short notice? Probably, but the Second Chance Square Dance at the Linen Building in downtown Boise is not something to be missed! The hoedown series has been going on for a while now thanks to the many people who come to enjoy live, local music and the-real-deal square dancing. The beauty of this style of dance is that you don’t even have to think, you just do what the caller tells you to do!

As many of you know, I’m pretty fond of dancing and therefore have always enjoyed coming to these hoedowns, but this time it’s going to be a bit more special for me. If you go to this hoedown on May 3, you’ll see little ol’ RDNaturally up on stage with Idyltime, helping provide the tunes for all those swingin’ dancers out there! Beth and Tate Mason of Coos County, OR, moved to Idaho a few years ago and recently joined up with the versatile Boisean fiddler, Dave Daley, and talented guitarist, Ava Honey, to create Idyltime. I’m looking forward to fiddling with these fantastic musicians, for sure. See you there!
