– Downtown Boise Association will launch its first ever online streaming concert on Wednesday, June 3rd. The concert series, now in its 34th year, has traditionally been held on The Grove Plaza in downtown Boise. This June, due to the health and safety regulations surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the series will be streamed online from the
Downtown Boise Association’s Facebook page
,
Alive After Five Facebook page
, and
YouTube channel
. Please see below for full details regarding to-go experience kits, the Tips for Charity program, and concert details:
Experience Kits
DBA is selling Alive After Five experience kits and merchandise prior to the streamed concerts. Beer, wine, Alive After Five t-shirts, stainless steel branded cups, and more merchandise will be available to pre-order on the
Alive After Five
page at downtownboise.org. The public can stop by the DBA booth on The Grove Plaza from 4:30-6:00 p.m. each Wednesday in June to purchase items during this time. Short-term parking has been reserved on 9th Street between Main Street and Grove Street to allow for convenient pick-up.

For a complete downtown Boise summer experience, order dinner from a downtown restaurant to take home with your Alive After Five merchandise.
Tips for Charity
The Tips for Charity program is a much-loved tradition that goes hand-in-hand with Alive After Five. Each month, a different nonprofit organization is the beneficiary of all the tips collected at the bar during Alive After Five. Camp Rainbow Gold is the recipient for June 2020. Tips can be donated at the point of sale on The Grove Plaza when purchasing merchandise or beverages, via Venmo (

June 3 Bands
Dustbowl Revival pushes the boundaries of what American roots music can be. Known for creating joyful, booty-shaking songs and cut-to-heart folk-rock ballads that lift up their transcendent live shows, they continue to come up with new energetic material from the place where folk music, funk and soul meet. With a big brass-and-strings band building the sets around them, their most recent release Is It You, Is It Me isn’t afraid to explore the personal and political tension that the group may have shied away from facing before.
Deviant Kin is a not-so-traditional string band, though an accordion makes it into the mix sometimes... Careening between Americana and bluegrass, and bouncing off Cajun, Latin, and Celtic adventures along the way, this group of seasoned musicians has bypassed boy band status entirely, and perform proudly as a man-band. Influenced by southern rock and Irish ballads, Appalachia and world music, you never quite know where the evening will lead.
