Paragon Entertainment LLC Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Paragon Entertainment LLC presents a summer concert series, “Live At The Linen” in Boise’s Linen District
BOISE, Idaho, April 21, 2008- Paragon Entertainment LLC, a global film distribution and music entertainment company will be producing a three-concert music series this summer, commencing the Fourth of July weekend. The concerts will be held in Boise’s flourishing Linen District, a rapidly up and coming arts and cultural center. Paragon will be partnering with Linen District developer David Hale, and will be holding their event at the newly renovated Linen Building event center and the large adjacent lot next door. The concert series has been aptly named “Live at the Linen.”
The concert dates are July 5th, August 9th, and September 6th from noon until 10pm. Each concert will showcase 12-14 bands performing on two separate sound stages, one inside the Linen Building and an outside stage next door. All bands will play original music from a multitude of genres including rock, indie, folk, pop, grunge, R&B, Jazz, country western and many others. Additionally, a wide variety of food and beverages will be available, as well as clothing and retail booths from local vendors. Beer and wine will be available along with a full bar (with ID). This is an all-ages, family friendly event and everyone is welcome.
“We started this concert series last year with our ‘Live at Hyde’ event in Hyde Park and it was a very big success,” says Wendy Meyers, Paragon Company President and CEO. “We’ve received an overwhelming amount of positive support from the community about producing live, intimate music events with up-and-coming artists, and that’s exactly what we intend to do with this series. We’ve culled the nation, including Boise of course, for the ‘best of the best’ bands and solo artists; many of them undiscovered ‘pearls’. We’ve had over 400 top-notch musicians from across the country apply to play in our series within the first few weeks of announcing the event. We are beyond thrilled at the quality of the band lineups we are putting together for each concert; artists from New York to Boise, to LA and everywhere in between. If you’re a music lover of any kind, these concerts are absolutely the place to be this summer.”
Meyers goes on to say, “Our only regret is that we can’t schedule more concerts, and invite even more of these artists to Boise. There is so much talent out there, but unfortunately, we only have a limited amount of time and number of slots available to play.” Paragon intends to make this concert series an annual event each summer. They are also currently considering the possibility of producing an indoor acoustic concert series during the winter months.
Admission fee for the kick-off concert in July will be $5 on a pre-sale basis and $8 at the door. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased on line at www.liveatthelinen.com after May 30th. Children under 12 accompanied by a paying adult and seniors, 55 and over are free, and attendees will have “in and out” privileges during the day. Meyers says, “The entertainment value of our concerts is exceptionally high. However, we wanted to keep the ticket prices low, so that every person in the community would have access to our shows. We feel everyone should enjoy the gift of great music.” A portion of all ticket sales will be donated to TrICA, the Treasure Valley Institute for Children’s Arts (www.tricarts.org).
The Linen Building (www.thelinenbuilding.com) is located at 1402 W. Grove Street next to Big City Coffee. For more information about concert details, individual artists and bands, bios, pictures and samples of their music, please go to www.liveatthelinen.com (the site is currently under construction, and will be up and running on or before May 30).
