Goob – A Night of Texas Blues

Join us for a night of soulful Texas blues at Boise Brewing as Goob takes the stage! Kicking things off as a trio (guitar, drums, and vocals), we’ll be channeling the legendary sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughan and more.

Then, for the main event, we’re turning it up a notch—bringing in a few more players (bass, drums) for a special set of crowd-favorite covers.

Speedy Gray grew up in rural North Carolina. Raised in an environment of gospel, folk, and R&B. Speedy first hit the road at 12 years old playing guitar in a traveling gospel act, The New Life Gospel Singers. After touring churches in the South during the 70's, Speedy then went in a wildly different direction to rock and punk bands through the 80s most notably with the critically acclaimed but terribly unrecognized post punk band The Dollmakers.

 After the dissolution of The Dollmakers in 1992 Speedy relocated to rural Wyoming and fell in love with cowboy songs and poetry, an influence that shows itself in multiple, diverse, and interesting ways.

I've been playing acoustic guitar since 1970 and singing before I could talk (according to my mom). I write and enjoy playing/singing Folk, Folk Rock, Celtic, Blues, Ragtime, Classical, Soft Jazz, and Country. I try hard to write music that has feeling and passion. It is my sincerest hope that you will find that listening to my music helps to enhance your life, that in some small way it brings joy and warmth to you.

A deeply-felt guitarist, vocalist, and creative, Joseph Lyle has touched the hearts of Idaho with acoustic brilliance over the past decade. Originally hailing from Whidbey Island, Washington, Lyle spent most of his childhood playing music with his family in Boise, Idaho. His hypnotic fingerstyle talent is inspired by the art of musicians such as Michael Hedges, Sergio Altamura, Tommy Emmanuel, and Andy McKee. His sound also exhibits classical and new age influences, as well as Egyptian folk.  

Lyle is a co-founder and original member of Fret Monkey Records, an international guitar collective launched in 2015. Since then, he has spent time touring with band Oceans Are Zeroes and producing three solo albums available to stream everywhere (Surface Tension, A Walk with the Leaves, and Snowflakes).  

Lyle currently spends his time writing music, organizing a local music exposition, and performing regularly throughout the greater Boise area.

Born and raised in the hop fields of Idaho's Snake River Valley, Spencer Batt's earthy sound is a direct product of his upbringing. Much time was spent sitting in the back of his father’s pickup truck listening to 60's and 70's rock 'n roll while cruising through the fields. It wasn't until dropping out of concert band and piano lessons that he found his love for guitar at the age of 16. From there he would go on to the University of Idaho where he would start his first band Clearview, and begin the path of singer/songwriter. Upon graduation, Spencer found himself without a proper job secured, but was scraping by playing music. This free spirited attitude turned out to be the catalyst that would ultimately lead to the incarnation of Boise based band Soul Serene. After 4 years of hitting the local scene and touring the northwest, Spencer returned to the University of Idaho to complete a master’s degree in environmental science. Upon graduation in May 2014, Spencer once again decided to forego a traditional career and returned to music. He has since played hundreds of events including weddings and other intimate settings thus honing the craft of entertainer.

If High Desert Soul was a thing — music that moves you through word and harmony in the tradition of real roots Americana — but with an ear towards jazz, and a pocket as deep as river canyon, that’s the ARB. AR’s songwriting is simultaneously earthy as it is urban. Sincere lyricism, rich harmonic and rhythmic structure, clearly influenced by the likes of Joni, Lucinda & Ani DiFranco. All held up with the sturdy pulse of Vintage Soul & Motown.
