Singer-songwriter Marcus Eaton will perform a special solo concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 4, at the Linen Building, 1402 W. Grove St. in Downtown Boise’s Linen District. Tickets are $7 at the door. All ages. Beer and wine available.


Eaton’s first Boise show since January is also his only local solo performance of the summer. His Linen Building debut will be the first of three events during the Live at the Linen concert series kickoff weekend June 4-6. Hear Eaton at www.marcuseaton.com.


Premier Guitar magazine recently said of Eaton: “Marcus Eaton plays the acoustic, but not like you might expect. He rapidly shifts between frantic fingerpicking and strumming, clean acoustic sounds and swirling, looped effects. His music fits firmly in the post-modern musical relativism that has become the norm among a new generation of musicians – viewing genre distinctions not as absolutes but as starting points.”


Eaton’s lyrics often reflect the natural beauty that surrounded him growing up on top of a mountain in rural Idaho, but the level of talent of this self-taught musician is world-class. Incorporating rock, reggae, flamenco, classical, jazz and folk, his mastery is recognized by fans and fellow musicians wherever he plays. Eaton is often seen on the road with TR3 featuring Tim Reynolds and has recently opened for Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler, Martin Sexton, Colin Hay and many others.

ABOUT THE LINEN BUILDING: Built in 1910 and originally known as the American Laundry Building, the Linen Building Event Center has been transformed into an architecturally unique special events center. The two-story facility houses three distinct music venues: a 350-capacity concert hall in a retrofitted warehouse space; an intimate, 150-capacity upstairs performance space; and a 1,500-capacity open-air performance space in the epicenter of Downtown Boise’s Linen District.
