Idaho Originals
THE STORY BEHIND THE PROJECT…
In 2023, as Heather and Bruce (Crazy Love Duo) were fine tuning and recording the Idaho Originals Album, created in part with a grant from the Idaho Arts Commission, an idea emerged; to create a companion book pairing Idaho artists with the songs on the album. Each artist would create a work of art inspired by one of the songs, or alternatively contribute a completed work of art that reflected the meaning of the song. The idea was met with overwhelming enthusiasm and the completed book represents the artistic and creative forces at work in Idaho and the wonderful spirit of community that we all so deeply treasure.
The Idaho Originals Project includes an album of eight original songs about Idaho, the stories of how each song came about, as well as the work of Idaho artists inspired by the songs. The CD/Companion Book will be available for purchase at the performance.
Idaho Originals Project Release Concert and Celebration: Friday, April 19th. Twin Falls Center for the Arts, 195 River Vista Place (the auditorium entrance is indoors, next to Elevation 486)
Doors open at 7PM (general admission seating). Admission is free.

Crazy Love would like to thank the Idaho Humanities Council and The Magic Valley Arts Council for their support of this performance.
Inspired by Idaho…
For singer/songwriters Heather Platts and Bruce Michael Miller (Crazy Love Duo), Idaho is the land of creative possiblities. The uniqeness of its people, their open hearted, friendly nature, the richness of its history, and the diversity of the landscape make Idaho an ideal environment/inspiration for writing songs…
Please join us at Magic Valley Center for the Arts on April 19th for the debut performance of the Idaho Originals Project, a live musical travelogue of the people, places, and stories of Idaho, accompanied by a slideshow of original artwork inspired by the songs.
