LIVE OUT LOUD BATTLE OF THE BANDS BENEFIT FOR BOISE HIVE DURING IDAHO GIVES FIRST THURSDAY, MAY 7 AT THE RX

BoiseHiveLgoClrOL_PIdaho Gives is on First Thursday, May 7, and The Record Exchange is honored to be hosting Live Out Loud – Battle of the Bands, a benefit for Boise Hive, at 6 p.m.!

Two bands (Deviant Kin vs. Lee Penn Sky and the Oliphants) will each have 30 minutes to perform on the new Record Exchange stage and get their fans to “vote” with a donation to Boise Hive during their set.

Boise Hive, meanwhile, wins your financial support, as all donations pledged at the event will help its Idaho Gives tally!
