The Clumsy Lovers…
Known to their ardent followers as “The best damn dance band in the Northwest,” starting Thursday, The Clumsy Lovers bring their energy-packed sets back to the Blues Bouquet for three nights.
The Lovers hail from British Columbia, but they are seldom home because of their non-stop touring schedule. They gained popularity playing in college towns like Missoula, Moscow, Pullman and Eugene. Now they play at music halls and bars all across this great land.
Their Celtic-fueled rock & roll is zany and always yields a dance floor full of bobbing heads. The Lovers do fun covers such as “London Bridge,” “You Shook Me All Night Long,” “Chim Chim Cheree” and “Let The Sunshine In.”
The Lovers will also be at Borders Books & Music on Saturday at 2 p.m. for a little jam session and some conversation.
If dancing is on your agenda this weekend, the Blues Bouquet is definitely the place to be. Call 345-6605 for times and ticket information.
Let’s talk avalanche safety…
Boise State University’s Outdoor Center is conducting a backcountry avalanche safety seminar on Friday and Saturday.
Friday’s seminar takes place in the cozy climes of the Outdoor Center, and includes lectures and a visual presentation. On Saturday, it’s up to the Idaho City area for some onsite training in deep snow.
The cost for this life-saving advice is only $20. For more information call the Outdoor Center at 426-1946.
Vietnamese New Year…
The Vietnamese Student Association is presenting a Vietnamese New Year Celebration in the Jordan Ballroom on Saturday night.
The annual festival celebrates the vibrant Vietnamese culture with food, song and dance. Last year, the VSA had traditional pastry flown in from a Southeast Asian bakery in Portland.
