🎸 Riff for a Rig Entry #10 🎶

Huge thanks to Pat Collins, student of Keith Eliot at the Dunkley School of Music, for sharing his music with us! 🌟

Pat is playing a one-of-a-kind custom Oregon Breedlove featuring a European Spruce top with beautiful Ziricote back and sides.

We also just want to say how thankful we are for every single person who has entered this contest so far. Putting yourself out there takes courage, and we know stepping outside your comfort zone isn’t always easy. Watching local musicians support each other through this has been pretty special. 💙

“Carrie, I Remember You” is a live storytelling concert blending music, history, and atmosphere at the Idaho State Museum. Featuring soprano Leslie Mauldin and pianist Paul Schiller, the performance brings a rare 1876 Weber Grand Piano back to life — an instrument lovingly rebuilt by Paul himself.

From Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 to classics from the Great American Songbook, this promises to be an unforgettable afternoon of music and story.

🗓 Sunday, May 31
🕒 3:00 PM
📍 Idaho State Museum

Kick off our debut series, "Here We Have Idaho" —with a live storytelling concert. Experience Boise’s past through music and story.
