Greg Belzeski’s Big Adventure Show
Help support The Idaho Foodbank while celebrating Greg Belzeski as he leaves Boise! Boise’s music community is coming together to raise funds and awareness for people impacted by food insecurity—and to help launch Greg’s Big Adventures. It’s a rare chance for all these fantastic musicians to gather on one stage and celebrate together.
Greg has invited many of the bands he’s performed with over the past year for a one-of-a-kind night at the Sapphire Room. Expect an eclectic blend of jazz, swing, folk, rock, country, New Orleans funk, alt-rock, pop, and soul—all performed by musicians generously donating their time, energy, and talent to help support our neighbors in need.
A portion of proceeds go directly to The Idaho Foodbank. Food insecurity is a year-round challenge, especially right after the holidays. This event helps raise funds and awareness to support our neighbors throughout the entire year.
This will be a relaxed, informal night filled with great music, easy mingling, and a shared purpose: supporting The Idaho Foodbank long after the holiday season ends. Please bring a can or two of food to help boost donations even further. Together, we can make a meaningful impact for our community.
