Boise has a thumping live music scene going on. Idaho Falls was once a great place for a musician, but its not like it once was. While I'm retired now, I still look the scene over in town, and I think live music is making a slow return at last, after about 15 years of being a desert in comparison to what it was for the 30+ years I was playing professionally.

The trick here has always been versatility. The work is always easier to find if you can cover a few different genres pretty well. The main objective always is to keep the crowd. Sometimes that means keeping them dancing, sometimes playing stuff that keeps them interested. Keeping them planted all night long is what all the owners want, and keeping the owners happy is the key to steady work.

Good luck! I may run into you- I still go out to jams once in a while.

it's interesting to know the point of view of a professional music.
