Music scene · Payette

Payette is a farming community in western Idaho where music revolves around school bands, church choirs, and country cover bands at local bars. Boise area musicians sometimes drive west for small gigs and jam nights.

Music in Payette happens at the high school auditorium, community center, church fellowship hall, and a local restaurant or bar. Touring acts are rare; most shows are local or regional.

Payette does not have a well-known roster of native artists. Local and regional players perform here, with musicians from the Boise area occasionally passing through.

Start by joining the school music program, asking at the community center about open mic nights, and meeting players at local bars. For more venues, Boise is the nearest city.
