Get ready to “Rock the Liberty” with a new concert series kicking off in Hailey’s iconic Liberty Theater.
The Sheep Bridge Jumpers will kick off the series with their high-energy eclectic performance featuring soulful ballads and adrenaline-pumping rock anthems at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 19. They’ll be followed by:
July 26—Allegedly, a Boise band that boasts an eclectic sound and high-energy performance
Aug. 2—The Gold Souls, which plays funk, soul, blues in mind-bending booty shakin’ boogie music
Aug. 9—Jay Miller, a Boise musician who sings of the lifestyle of the American West in folk, classic country and indie rock mode
Aug. 23—David Henry Band, which boasts three-part harmonies amidst elements of country, folk, rock and soul music
Aug. 30—Andrew Sheppard, whose new single “Steady Machine” is now available on streaming platforms
Sept. 5—Analog Dog, a band founded in and around the musical breeding grounds of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park to honor the vibrations of the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s
"We are thrilled to launch the Rock the Liberty Concert Series with local music legends Sheep Bridge Jumpers," said Liberty Co-Owner and local musician, Luc McCann. "This series is not just about music; it's about celebrating community and embracing the vibrant culture of Hailey.”
McCann said a new sound system was installed in the theater this summer to enhance the experience.
“Our first-ever concert at the Liberty featured Boot Juice on May 25th. It was the perfect location for both those who want to go into the pit and dance or those who want to sit up in the balcony and talk to their friends while watching the concert from above,” he added.
General Manager Peter Vallamarescu said he couldn’t be more excited to establish a new venue that’s not only beautiful to be in but caters to artists and the local community: “We can’t wait to get the community more involved and continue to bring awesome local and traveling musicians alike to Hailey.”
Tickets for Friday’s performance featuring The Sheep Bridge Jumpers are $15 if purchased in advance at www.libertytheaterhailey.com. They’re $18 at the door.
